    Installation Manager V7 will not keep the updateconfig.log
    for a secondary install of a fix pack and will overwrite it.
    

Problem conclusion

  • In order to keep the same behavior with Update Installer V7,
    Installation Manager will add a function to preserve the old
    updateconfig.log with a new name, the name' format is the old
    file name+'.'+timestamp, such as updateconfig.log.20120427115635
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 7.0.0.25.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
