Recovering Configuration Information

---

When you uninstall the gateway (from the Portal Server node or non-Portal Server node), the configuration files and the certificate database files are not uninstalled. They are renamed so that you can recover the information.

For example, if you have uninstalled a gateway instance called test, the corresponding configuration file is renamed as follows:

platform.conf.test.SRAP6.yyyymmddss

The certificate database directories are renamed as:

cert.srap6.yyyymmddss
