What is DOI file?

The file with the extension DOI is the Misc Files file type. The author of this format is Actuate Corporation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. BiRT Data Object Instance 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 BIRT Studio application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Actuate Corporation.

How to open DOI file?

An often recurring problem with BiRT Data Object Instance is that DOI is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open DOI, 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 DOI 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 BIRT Studio

In this case, you should first verify that the BIRT Studio application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BIRT Studio into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file DOI with BIRT Studio. Below is a list of programs that support the file DOI.

Programs to open DOI file

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

Step 2. Create association of BIRT Studio with DOI files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DOI file still does not use the BIRT Studio 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 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 BIRT Studio application as the default for handling the DOI file.

Step 3. Update BIRT Studio to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the BIRT Studio program, it is possible that BiRT Data Object Instance requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Actuate Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DOI 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:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the DOI file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our DOI file. Sometimes virus-infected DOI files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DOI 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 the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged DOI files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Actuate Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted DOI files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move DOI to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DOI file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
