ADL Workbench 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. The main program that supports this format is ADL Workbench. This was created by openEHR.
How to open ADLS file?
The main problem with ADL Workbench is that the ADLS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open ADLS, 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 ADLS 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 ADL Workbench
In this case, you should first verify that the ADL Workbench application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ADL Workbench in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open ADLS files.
Programs to open ADLS file
Remember to download programs supporting ADLS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ADL Workbench with ADLS files
If, despite the installed application, the ADLS file does not start in the ADL Workbench 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 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 select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ADLS file with the ADL Workbench program.
Step 3. Update ADL Workbench to the latest version
If, however, after binding ADL Workbench with ADL Workbench there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the openEHR website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ADLS file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ADLS file. 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ADLS file. However, remember that not every infected ADLS file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of ADLS file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ADLS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use openEHR help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ADLS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move ADLS to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the ADLS file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ADLS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
