How to open DGE file?

The main problem with Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Declaration Data Format is that the DGE file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DGE, 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 DGE 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 Micro Focus Enterprise Developer

Programs to open DGE file

Remember to download programs supporting DGE files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Micro Focus Enterprise Developer with DGE files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DGE file to open in the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer application as the default for handling the DGE file.

Step 3. Update Micro Focus Enterprise Developer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Micro Focus Enterprise Developer program, it is possible that Micro Focus Enterprise Developer Declaration Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Micro Focus International plc website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DGE file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DGE file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DGE file. However, remember that not every infected DGE file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DGE files changes over time. 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 ability to automatically repair DGE file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , 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 DGE 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. Copying the DGE file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DGE file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
