We catalog *all* SMP/E data sets including those for z/OS. I don't see how *not* cataloging data sets increases integrity. At some point you have to distinguish among different releases by typing something somewhere. I'd rather do that in the HLQ. We decided long ago to 'preserve' (i.e. avoid deleting) the release-level user catalog created by Server Pac and utilize for the life of the release. So for example, we have DDDEFs for
OSR21.SYS1.LINKLIB OSR23.SYS1.LINKLIB This involves aliases so that the data set on the actual target volume is always 'SYS1.LINKLIB' for any release. The release-named volume can then be dump/restored without futzing with names. Once the catalog is correct, data set management is pretty straightforward. . .
