the activities of the PCU Installer are recorded in various log files.

PCU Installer. The name of the setup and the name of the computer are entered in the file
name of the log.

If you activate the checkSetupLogFile= setting in the "PCUInst.ini" configuration file
(Page 112), then the setup-specific log file prevents the same setup being installed several
times on the same computer. The check is performed based on the computer name and the
setup name.
In the delivery condition of the base software, this setting is deactivated. The setting should
remain deactivated for the series start-up of devices with the same name or for the repair of
an installation.
