Sybase SQLAnywhere Temporary appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others.

How to open AAA file?
The main problem with Sybase SQLAnywhere Temporary is that the AAA file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open AAA, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AAA 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 SQL Anywhere
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that SQL Anywhere is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SQL Anywhere in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support AAA files.
Programs to open AAA file
Remember to download programs supporting AAA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SQL Anywhere with AAA files
If, despite the installed application, the AAA file does not start in the SQL Anywhere application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 SQL Anywhere application as the default for handling the AAA file.
Step 3. Update SQL Anywhere to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SQL Anywhere program with the Sybase SQLAnywhere Temporary file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Sybase Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AAA file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The AAA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AAA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AAA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AAA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of AAA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AAA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sybase Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AAA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the AAA file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AAA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file AAA to close. However, some background programs may block the AAA file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
