The format of the file name UPIMERGE generates is implementation-dependent.
 
On most systems, the format is xxxnnnnnn, where:

• xxx is a prefix based on the name of the Universal Agent configuration or component definition file specified for DESTINATION_FILE. (UPIMERGE uses a default of uim if it does not recognize the file name.)
• nnnnnn is a unique alpha\-numeric identifier.

On some older UNIX systems, the format is undefined, but the name is still unique.

UPIMERGE generates a file name with a format of xxxnnnn.tmp, where:

• xxx is a prefix based on the name of the Universal Agent configuration or component definition file specified for DESTINATION_FILE. (UPIMERGE uses a default of uim if it does not recognize the file name.)
• nnnn is a unique alpha-numeric identifier.
