How to open FEX file?
The most common problem when using WebFOCUS FOCUS Web390 Procedure is that a specific FEX is not associated with the program. This causes the file FEX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FEX 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 WebFOCUS
The first step is to check if the computer has the WebFOCUS program installed. To do this, enter the name WebFOCUS into the system search engine. 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 FEX.
Programs to open FEX file
Remember to download programs supporting FEX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of WebFOCUS with FEX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FEX file still does not use the WebFOCUS program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 WebFOCUS application as the default for handling the FEX file.
Step 3. Update WebFOCUS to the latest version
If, despite the association of the WebFOCUS program with the WebFOCUS FOCUS Web390 Procedure file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Information Builders page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FEX file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to FEX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FEX or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FEX 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 FEX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair FEX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Information Builders, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FEX 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the FEX file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the FEX file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
