3659628 - SWPM prompts for target system's default profile directory during system rename operation

Symptom

The system had already been previously renamed to a new SID   and now it is renamed again, back to the first SID

During this second system rename operation   using SWPM, the tool incorrectly prompts for the target system's Default profile directory instead of the source system´s default profile. 

The error in sapinst_dev.log is similar to this:

TRACE    XXXXXX (YYYYYYY) (startInstallation) [Installer Callback]
NW.fromProfilepath() done: <disk>:/usr/sap/<SID target>/SYS/profile doesn't exist. throwing
 
TRACE   XXXXXX (YYYYYYY) (startInstallation) [Installer Callback]
NWException thrown: nw.invalidProfilePathNotExists:
Cannot determine SAP system ID from profile directory <disk>:/usr/sap/<SID target>/SYS/profile: directory does not exist.
