Jorge, I'm not fully understanding why you don't want to use one shared IODF, as you do today. Is it because you want to be able to do dynamic activates in these production systems (and don't today in your test system)? We put our IODFs on one dedicated volume with its own catalog. The volume an

One more thing. ;-) Using 'native' HCD/IODF facilities guards against a possibly fatal problem. Other software might well upload an IODF in multiple extents. Perfectly valid for data management, and the result will work fine for dynamic ACTIVATE. However, you cannot IPL with a multi-extent IODF.
