.pdf Copy of 'Enhanced Catalog Sharing and Management, SG24-5594' (1999)?

[Michael Watkins]

Does anyone have a pdf copy of the IBM TotalStorage Redbook, 'Enhanced Catalog 
Sharing and Management, SG24-5594' that they'd be willing to share?

I think it was originally published in 1999.

Our enterprise ROT is to share everything in a plex that can be shared. With 
help from symbolics and variables. One MCAT per plex regardless of number of 
systems. UCATs shared only within a plex. And unlike some shops, we reuse all 
catalogs indefinitely across z/OS upgrades and reconfigurations. Our main 
production catalog was created 1983.193.

Re: Catalog Sharing

[Jousma, David]

One per environment, so a total of 3 MC's.   In essence they are all the 
same(or should be).  Almost everything in them is indirectly cataloged and in a 
pinch could be used for recovery purposes.

Re: Catalog Sharing

[Richards, Robert B.]

I concur with Dave. With all usercats being shared with each mastercat, then 
those mastercats are, for the most part, also alternate mastercats, effectively 
eliminating SPOF. The only caveat would be if the mastercats having different 
datasets cataloged directly into them. Also, go with indirect cataloging!  :-)

Re: Catalog Sharing

[Edgington, Jerry]

In my opinion, I would share the master catalog as much as possible, and setup 
the alternate master catalog as a backup to eliminate single point of failure.

Just a general question wondering how others share the master catalog in a 
SYSPLEX.  Do most of you guys share a master catalog in the sysplex or do you 
have a master catalog for each lpar in the sysplex?  Just thinking about single 
point of failures.

Thank you.

Re: Catalog Sharing

[Jousma, David]

We have TECH, DEV and PROD lpars in the same sysplex.  Each environment has its 
own MC.   All systems share the same UC's.
