The EEX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the EEX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the EEX file on each system platform.
What is EEX file?
The EEX file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Oracle Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Oracle Discoverer EUL is supported by 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is Oracle Discoverer. This was created by Oracle Corporation.
How to open EEX file?
The main problem with Oracle Discoverer EUL is that the EEX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file EEX 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 EEX 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
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Oracle Discoverer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Oracle Discoverer 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 EEX files.
Programs to open EEX file
Remember to download programs supporting EEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Oracle Discoverer with EEX files
If, despite the installed application, the EEX file does not start in the Oracle Discoverer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the EEX file with the Oracle Discoverer application.
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 EUL requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Oracle Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the EEX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the EEX file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the EEX file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected EEX 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 EEX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged EEX files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Oracle Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file EEX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move EEX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the EEX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file EEX to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
