Sharing without serialization can lead to errors. It's even worse with PDSE outside Sysplex
On the other hand, here where there are only two of us who could possibly update the IODF (and I usually leave it to the other guy) We get away with it. But we only have four monoplexes and carefully limit sharing. I may break me, but I will rarely break the system :) If I was running a larger installation, or more sysprogs stirring the soup, I would completely agree with Skip and Tom > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] > On Behalf Of van der Grijn, Bart (B) > Sent: Friday, June 12, 2015 5:27 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: Share IODF in different sysplex same CPC > > Seeing that I originally suggested using a shared catalog in this thread, I > have > to ask why people believe this is a dangerous setup for the topic at hand. > Yes, there are potential issues with sharing catalogs, but with the suggested > configuration (single dedicated volume, single HLQ, single catalog, IODF only) > I'm just not seeing what the issues are.
