   @Nayan had this feedback to share on this issue:
   
   The cause is the system trying to access a file that simply does not exist. Most importantly we need to understand what scenarios system can get into this state.
   
   1. You get this error if you recreate your Fineract docker image but you do not recreate your MySQL database ( as mentioned in the FINERACT-1037), this rarely happens and not the real reason for the error.
   
   2. When deployed Fineract in clustered mode but storage pointed to the local file system, instead of to a shared network mounted files system
   3. In the system configuration if they switch from storage from file system to S3 and then from S3 back to file system ( Fineract does not remember the files was stored in S3 or Filesystem it simply tries to access with present configuration )
   
   - This PR might only fix problem number two.  
   - The issue number one is more of DevOps, we should not worry about it. 
   - A most important and possible our user may face is the third one, we need to solve is the third one (I have not tested the third one on the latest codebase, assumed based on my past experience)
