  • All files created by a preinstall, postinstall, or configure script must be removed by a companion postremove, preremove or unconfigure script.

    Files created by scripts are not known by the swremove command, and will not get removed when it removes those files installed by swinstall. If you want script-created files removed by SD, you will have to add them to the IPD by either the swmodify command or the control_utils function IPD_addfile.

  • If any files in the previous revision of a product have changed names or became obsolete, a product/fileset preinstall or postinstall script in the new revision of the product must remove the old files. The agent does not remove the files in an existing product/fileset before updating it to a newer revision.

    NOTE: It is necessary to perform the cleanup task of any previous revision that can be updated to the new revision. Sometimes this is more than just the previous revision.
