Control File Naming Convention

If the control file $SWDIR/logs/swinstall.dat already exists, the existing file is renamed as $SWDIR/logs/oldswins.nnn, where nnn is a unique sequence starting from 001.

For example, if you have run the installer three times, you can find the following files stored in the $SWDIR/logs directory:

Filename

swinstall.dat

the most recent (that is, third) execution of the installer

oldswins.002

oldswins.001
