Migrate Financial Attachments
Beginning with QAD 2011 Enterprise Edition, financial attachments that were previously stored in the database are now stored in the file system with all other attachments. Therefore, if your source environment is QAD 2011 Enterprise Edition or above, you must migrate the contents of your attachments directory to the newly installed attachments directory.
