Next Steps
After you configure your environment, preserve your environment installation and configuration settings by backing up the following directories to a different location:
• $QDT/xml
• $QDT/ini
• $QDT/envs
• $QDT/logs
Then see Starting QAD Enterprise Edition for details on starting your QAD Enterprise Edition installation.
Note: If you installed QAD Enterprise Edition in multiple environments or created clones of a QAD Enterprise Edition environment, you must perform the applicable procedures in Starting QAD Enterprise Edition and QAD Enterprise Edition Configuration. You must perform the procedures separately for each environment.
