Today, the SYSGEN process has largely been replaced by the addition of additional logical Parmlib members with which to control the initialization and operation of the system. The IOGEN process was replaced, first by a facility called Input/Output Configuration Program (IOCP). IOCP was subsequently replaced by a newer facility called Hardware Configuration Definition (HCD).
Both IOCP and HCD provide support for dynamic changes to defined hardware devices, thereby allowing additional hardware devices to be dynamically added, subject to certain limitations.
While the specific details of IOCP and HCD are not covered by CA Auditor, you should nevertheless be aware of these facilities, their use at your site, and the internal change control procedures in place to record changes to these configuration definitions.
