How to open BSWX file?

An often recurring problem with Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server Database is that BSWX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open BSWX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the BSWX 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 PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3

The first step is to check if the computer has the PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 program installed. This can be achieved by typing PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 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 is a list of programs that support the file BSWX.

Step 2. Create association of PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 with BSWX files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the BSWX file still does not use the PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 BSWX file with the PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 program.

Step 3. Update PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 to the latest version

If, however, after binding PerformancePoint Server 2007 SP3 with Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server Database 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 Microsoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the BSWX 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 suggests truncating the BSWX file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file BSWX or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected BSWX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the BSWX 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 BSWX files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Microsoft Corporation
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted BSWX 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the BSWX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the BSWX 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 BSWX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the BSWX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
