Programs to open ARQ file
Remember to download programs supporting ARQ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Business Service Management with ARQ files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARQ file to open in the Business Service Management application, but you can set it manually. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Business Service Management application as the default for handling the ARQ file.
Step 3. Update Business Service Management to the latest version
If, however, after binding Business Service Management with BSM Action Request System Client Macro there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the BMC Software, Inc. page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARQ file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the ARQ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our ARQ file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover ARQ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of ARQ 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ARQ file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting BMC Software, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ARQ files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ARQ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ARQ to close. However, some background programs may block the ARQ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
