Tips to open DGX file
Can't open the DGX file? You are not the only one. Thousands of users face similar problems every day. Below you will find tips on how to open DGX files as well as a list of programs that support DGX files.

The DGX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DGX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DGX file on each system platform.
What is DGX file?
The file with the extension DGX is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by IBM. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. IBM Rational XDE is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Rational XDE. This was created by IBM.
How to open DGX file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Rational XDE is that DGX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DGX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DGX 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 Rational XDE
In this case, you should first verify that the Rational XDE application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Rational XDE into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DGX files.
Programs to open DGX file
Remember to download programs supporting DGX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rational XDE with DGX files
If, despite the installed application, the DGX file does not start in the Rational XDE application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 DGX file with the Rational XDE program.
Step 3. Update Rational XDE to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rational XDE with IBM Rational XDE 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 IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DGX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The DGX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DGX 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DGX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected DGX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DGX file. 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 DGX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IBM, 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 DGX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DGX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the DGX 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. However, some background programs may block the DGX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
