Existing attachments will not open after migrating Jira server
Platform Notice: Server and Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the server and data center platforms.
Problem
After Migrating/Upgrading JIRA, the previous attachments that are included in the instance can not be opened through the UI, but new attachments are working without any problem.
The following appears in the catalina.out:

- Check to see if your operating system, JIRA itself, and the Database are using the recommended encoding/character set
- Check the Attachment names on JIRA, the Database and File system to see if they all match.
To check the attachment on the database, run the query below:
select * from fileattachment;
Cause
The attachment name is different between the database and filename or the characters are not being rendered as expected (an unsupported encoding/character set is being used somewhere).
Workaround
- If the attachment file name is broken on the OS side, you will need to be rename them one by one.
If the system is a Linux-based OS, you can convert the filename to the right character encoding using the convmv tool.
