The primary consideration when defining ICF catalogs is recoverability. After that has been addressed you can take a look at performance. The BCS is a VSAM KSDS and is tuned in a very similar manner to any other KSDS. As with most data set tuning, a major facet of improving performance is to speed up, reduce or eliminate I/O. The speakers will discuss monitoring the catalog address space, caching of catalog records, Enhanced Catalog Sharing and RLS for catalogs. The role of a catalog is to locate your data. You can help ensure that it does its job efficiently.
