Special Considerations

To perform system PARMLIB analysis processing, access to more than one SYS1.PARMLIB may be required. Depending on your system configuration and the system configuration that the auditors want to examine, you must also have read access to the following data sets:

• SYS0.IPLPARM through SYS9.IPLPARM (on any DASD volume), if any or all of these data sets are used at your site. These typically reside on one of the following DASD volumes):
  • System residence (SYSRES)
  • Input/Output Definition file (IODF)
• Any PARMLIB data sets specified in any LOADxx IPL LOADPARM member. These data sets can reside on any SYSRES or IODF volume, or any other volume when access is made through a master catalog entry or a hard‑coded volume serial number.
• Any master catalog used to locate any PARMLIB data set. Depending on the audit parameters requested by the auditor, catalogs other than the current master catalog used by the executing system might be used to access PARMLIB data sets.
