You no longer need a separate MCAT for each system. You need to ensure that system specific datasets are unique (e.g. using &SYSNAME in the DSN for logrec). As for indirect volume reference for shared files, that too is allowed and very useful (E.g. SYS1.LINKLIB) In the old days, I had to rename a volume to implement a new SYSRES. Today, you simply change a system variable and use indirect volume for SYS1.LINKLIB. You can implement the change thru an IPL parm so that it is much cleaner, safer and performed by an operator.
What is the catalog ownership restriction you are referring to?
