The DTT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the DTT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the DTT file on each system platform.
What is DTT file?
The DTT file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by IBM. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. IBM AS/400 Data Transfer appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Linux systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use IBM i to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open DTT file?
The main problem with IBM AS/400 Data Transfer is that the DTT file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DTT to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DTT 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 IBM i
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM i program installed. To do this, enter the name IBM i 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 DTT with IBM i. Below is a list of programs that support the file DTT.
Programs to open DTT file
Remember to download programs supporting DTT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM i with DTT files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the DTT file to open in the IBM i application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. 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 DTT file with the IBM i program.
Step 3. Update IBM i to the latest version
If, however, after binding IBM i with IBM AS/400 Data Transfer there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DTT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to DTT files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the DTT file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DTT 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 DTT files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DTT file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file DTT 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the DTT file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the DTT file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the DTT file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
