Always run a test conversion. This ensures you have encountered any operating system (OS), application, or documentation problems you might have, asked all the required application questions of the appropriate experts, and can determine a full production conversion schedule.

If you are converting a large database (10 GB+) and your schedule is going to run longer than a weekend, consider the in-place conversion.

For any conversion, QAD recommends that you contact Support to discuss your plans and expectations with a qualified Support representative.
