How to open CKP file?
The main problem with Ingres Database Checkpoint Data is that the CKP file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open CKP, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the CKP 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 Ingres Database
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Ingres Database is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Ingres Database into the 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 CKP.
Programs to open CKP file
Remember to download programs supporting CKP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ingres Database with CKP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the CKP file to open in the Ingres Database 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the CKP file with the Ingres Database program.
Step 3. Update Ingres Database to the latest version
If, however, after binding Ingres Database with Ingres Database Checkpoint Data there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Actian Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the CKP file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. 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 CKP file. 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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our CKP file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover CKP files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the CKP files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular CKP file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Actian Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file CKP 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 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. If possible, you can try to move the CKP file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. 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 CKP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
