How to open DIS file?
The most common problem when using Oracle Discoverer Workbook is that a specific DIS is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that DIS files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DIS 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 Oracle Discoverer
In this case, you should first verify that the Oracle Discoverer application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Oracle Discoverer in it. 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 DIS.
Programs to open DIS file
Remember to download programs supporting DIS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Oracle Discoverer with DIS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DIS file still does not use the Oracle Discoverer program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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 DIS file with the Oracle Discoverer program.
Step 3. Update Oracle Discoverer to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Oracle Discoverer program, it is possible that Oracle Discoverer Workbook requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DIS file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the DIS 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DIS or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DIS files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the DIS 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair DIS file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DIS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DIS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. 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 DIS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
