ISGECMON appears to work as self-advertized. A quick test on our sandbox
gives good results: the owning user is notified regardless of where the job
is running.
Note that this program works altogether differently from DSNHELD, which is
an MPF exit kicked off by message IEF863I on the batch job's system.
ISGECMON, running on every system with an interval pop, eventually detects
the conflict wherever the user is logged on, so TPUT gets issued on the
'right' system.
Thanks to all for the quick help. We're venturing into our first
bronze-plex this weekend, so users will likely see some GRS false
contentions. Having sysplex-wide notification will help.

You are definitely supposed to run it everywhere. The logic consciously
ignores so-called "data set owners" running on other systems. The
program notes say:
