How CAB files generated?
To maximize disk space on the computer that is scanned, after OMPM File Scanner writes 10,000 log files, adds the log files to a CAB file, and then deletes the log files. Each CAB file contains up to 10,000 log files. When a CAB file reaches 10,000 log files, OMPM File Scanner creates a new CAB file for the next 10,000 files.

Can this limit (10,000) be changed? : NO
CAB files use the file name from the ScanID GUID, with an index number appended. Two CAB files generated on the same computer might generate names such as the following:

1. Computer1 {2FA87EDF-4393-4BCF-8829-8776F82DEDD5}00001.cab

2. Computer1 {2FA87EDF-4393-4BCF-8829-8776F82DEDD5}00002.cab
Creating CAB files can be detrimental to performance if log files are saved across a network. Use the setting CABlogs=1 in the Offscan.ini file to disable the creation of CAB files.
