Info
titleBefore you Begin

By default Enterprise Tester stores attachments in the file system from V4.3 and above. Note that the original installation must be V4.3 (released September 2012) and above. In this case, you do not need to make any additional configurations to your system unless you would like to change the default file storage location or the maximum file size. See the Additional Configurations section below.

Where the original installation of ET was a version earlier than 4.3 then the default attachment storage is in the database and you will need to migrate the attachments from the database in addition to making the changes to the web.config file described below. Failure to migrate your attachments from the database after changing the attachment storage method will make those attachments in the database unavailable to users and will leave your system with attachments in both the database and the file system. The migration process described below will not migrate attachments from the database if new attachments are already being stored in the file system. In this case, please contact Catch Support for assistance.

Before running the AttachmentMigrator tool ensure you backup the following;

  • Enterprise Tester Database
  • Enterprise Tester file directory (where Enterprise Tester is installed i.e. (c:\Program Files\Catch Limited\Enterprise Tester\)

Changing Attachment Storage from Database to File System (Existing installation of ET) only applies to V4.2 and earlier original installations
