User catalogs<br />

The difference between the master catalog and the user catalogs is in the function. User<br />

catalogs are to be used to contain information about your installation cataloged data sets<br />

other than SYS1 data sets. There are no set rules as to how many or what size to have; it<br />

depends entirely on your environment.<br />

Cataloging data sets for two unrelated applications in the same catalog creates a single point<br />

<strong>of</strong> failure for them that otherwise might not exist. Assessing the impact <strong>of</strong> outage <strong>of</strong> a given<br />

catalog can help to determine if it is too large or can impact too many applications.<br />
