How to open ERM file?
The most common problem when using Prosa Entity Relationship Diagram Model is that a specific ERM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open ERM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ERM 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 PROSA Modeller Edition
The first step is to check if the computer has the PROSA Modeller Edition program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name PROSA Modeller Edition in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ERM with PROSA Modeller Edition. Below is a list of programs that support the file ERM.
Programs to open ERM file
Remember to download programs supporting ERM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PROSA Modeller Edition with ERM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the ERM file still does not use the PROSA Modeller Edition program, it means no 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. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PROSA Modeller Edition application as the default for handling the ERM file.
Step 3. Update PROSA Modeller Edition to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the PROSA Modeller Edition program, it is possible that Prosa Entity Relationship Diagram Model requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Insoft Oy. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ERM 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 ERM file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. 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 ERM file. Sometimes virus-infected ERM 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 ERM files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
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 ERM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Insoft Oy. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ERM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ERM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ERM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ERM 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.
