It would be a manual effort. I suppose you could read all the smf data from all the systems and create something to at least report on master catalog changes. But since the master catalog should basically only have sysres dsns and required operational dsns for the systems sharing it anyway, it shouldn't change very often. I have a shared environment that is 2 master catalogs and 2 sysplexes using CA-MII as the integrity manager. Generally, the only time I need to make changes in both is when I upgrade the OS. But those same changes have to be done to all the different sysplexes / master catalogs.
