If I am currently at, say RSU18009, and am applying maintenance up to RSU1909,
what if I suddenly need a PTF for the RSU1809 environment?
I have one SMPe and CSI environment. If I have applied RSU1909 but have not
rolled it out to all my environments, I really dont have an SMPe environment

Thank you for the response!
If I am in a situation where I need to restore my target and distribution
zones, wouldnt I also have to restore all the datasets defined in DDDEF?
thanks

No. Some of the DDDEF might be part of a SYSLIB or STEPLIB entry or other.
The TLIBs and DLIBs plus global should be all you need.
The best way to do this,
1) Backup all the GLOBAL/TLIBs/DLIBs before you apply maintenance
2) If you have not done an accept since the last APPLY, do that
For example, you do not need to backup SCEERUN unless it is part of the product
(z/OS in this example) your SMP/e environment. You would not need to back it
up if a CA Product had it in the lists for DDDEFs.
You should be able to verify which datasets you do need to backup based on what

Not being involved with JES3, I'm disinterested, but IBM has been
offloading development of various software products to other software
companies for some time. I wonder why they didn't just do that with JES3,

I think you mean target data set. TLIB means something different.

Yes, if you do a restore of a zone then you must also restore all associated
datasets, whether in DDDEF or JCL.

Except when installation policies or resources prevent it, I always clone the
zone and the datasets it describes at the same time. In your case, I suggest
that you clone both the RSU18009 target zone and the RSU18009 target datasets
before doing the RSU1909 APPLY.

In my environment they are clones of each other.
X is the base zone - what I am going to install
Once I install the TLIBs from my X Zone I make a plan to roll to Y zone as
a stable SMP/e environment to roll out
Y is a copy/clone of my X zone, so I am rolling it out to my LPARs/PLEXes
Do you meant that y is a clone of the target and dlib zones, plus the
associated datasets, or only a clone of the target zone plus the associated
data sets? Or are you also cloning the global zone and associated data sets?

I do not know if your volumes are SMS managed or not.
If they are and you issue the zfsadmn command, you can see if it grows the way
you think it should.
Or as others have suggested, create a bigger new one. Copy from zFS to other.
Then delete your older file.
