Hello John and Mary:

  Our requirements are (if it's possible). Updates in one and only IODF and

more IODF and we save the IODF integrity.
The share user catalog option is the fast and easy way for dynamic activation 
in all systems, but It's dangerous if you aren't careful.

This should be the GRSRNLxx configuration with this option:

RNLDEF RNL(EXCL) TYPE(GENERIC) QNAME(SYSDSN) RNAME(hlq iodf)
RNLDEF RNL(EXCL)  TYPE(GENERIC)  QNAME(SYSZVVDS) RNAME(SD) RNLDEF RNL(EXCL)  
TYPE(GENERIC)  QNAME(SYSVTOC) RNAME(volser catalog device)
RNLDEF RNL(EXCL) TYPE(SPECIFIC) QNAME(SYSIGGV2)
        RNAME('iodf user catalog                     ')
RNLDEF RNL(EXCL) TYPE(PATTERN) QNAME(SYSIGGV2)
RNAME('????????????????????????????????????????????iodf user catalog            
         ')


The IODF SYS1 option and Mary option I think that it's the same. With the Mary 
option you avoid DEFINE and REPRO executions. The transmit and receive option 
is faster. Mary I understand that you have cataloged the same iodf HLQ in 
differerents user catalogs in different systems? With the same HLQ like IOCDS 
you should execute a right dynamic activacion, Is It true?


Jorge,

This is dangerous and unnecessary. You can catalog the IODF on each separate system in the master catalog, or a user catalog shared among systems IN THE SAME SYSPLEX. You shouldn't be sharing a user catalog cross-sysplex.

I used to propagate IODF's with DFDSS DUMP, FTP, RESTORE, but that failed once after working for over a year. So now I use the HCD EXPORT and IMPORT functions, which while slower, is guaranteed to work.

Tom Conley
