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.
