Configuration audits consists of cross checking the CI description records with the current version of the CI as held in its development folder.
Configuration audits should establish that: the current physical representation of each CI matches its current specification, that there is consistency in design between each CI and its parent, if there is a parent.
The configuration administrator should be responsible for producing all scheduled and ad hoc reports on the status of the CIs at an given point in time.
Like packages, configurationitems exist in a tree-based hierarchy: each configurationitem has a parent which may be another configurationitem or a package.
Under some conditions (such as when packages are added or removed from a configuration), items may be “re-parented” such that their position in the tree changes.
Descendants of an item that is disabled are inactive: their values may not be changed.
