It is worth stressing that whilst ChangeMan ZMF Enterprise Release Option (ERO) release packages are fully aware of base ZMF package behaviour, the opposite is not always true. The additional functionality provided by ERO results in a potentially more complex component build configuration that several ZMF functions, including package audit processing, cannot understand.

Due to this, the ZMF package audit function is limited to automatically enabling the ‘Audit staging libraries only’ option when running against an ERO release package. The package audit AD000/PGM=CMNAD000 step issues the following information messages in the SYSPRINT output file to explain this behaviour:

CMN2614I - Package is attached to a Release, package audit processing will be restricted to staging contents.
CMN2617I - Use ERO Area Audit to ensure integrity across the release areas and baseline.

Further information, including a list of the package audit SYNCH! errors that will NOT be reported in this situation, can be found in the ChangeMan ZMF User’s Guide. The ZMF 8.3 version of this documentation can be found here.
