The AG file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the AG files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the AG file on each system platform.
What is AG file?
The file with the extension AG is the Graphic Files file type. The creator of this file is IBM. Additionally, the Graphic Files category contains 524 of other files. Applix Graphics is most often found on 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use IBM Cognost TM1 to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open AG file?
The main problem with Applix Graphics is that the AG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that AG files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AG 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 IBM Cognost TM1
In this case, you should first verify that the IBM Cognost TM1 application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IBM Cognost TM1 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. Below you will find a list of applications that support AG files.
Programs to open AG file
Remember to download programs supporting AG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Cognost TM1 with AG files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AG file to open in the IBM Cognost TM1 application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM Cognost TM1 application as the default for handling the AG file.
Step 3. Update IBM Cognost TM1 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM Cognost TM1 program with the Applix Graphics 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 IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AG file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AG file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AG file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AG file. 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 option of recovering data from damaged AG files. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file AG except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AG to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AG file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AG file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
