What is ASGP file?

The file with the extension ASGP is the Settings Files file type. The creator of this file is Hewlett-Packard Company. Additionally, the Settings Files category contains 1305 of other files. HP-UX NIS Maps Configuration is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite to handle this file. This is a program created by Hewlett-Packard Company.

How to open ASGP file?

The main problem with HP-UX NIS Maps Configuration is that the ASGP file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that ASGP files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ASGP file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ASGP files.

Programs to open ASGP file

Remember to download programs supporting ASGP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite with ASGP files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ASGP file to open in the HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite application as the default for handling the ASGP file.

Step 3. Update HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite to the latest version

If, despite the association of the HP-UX 11i Web Server Suite program with the HP-UX NIS Maps Configuration file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Hewlett-Packard Company website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ASGP file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to ASGP files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ASGP file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ASGP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ASGP file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair ASGP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Hewlett-Packard Company, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ASGP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ASGP to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ASGP to close. However, some background programs may block the ASGP file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
