The FNI file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FNI files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FNI file on each system platform.
What is FNI file?
The FNI file has been categorized as Misc Files. The creator of this file is IBM. Additionally, the Misc Files category contains 6033 of other files. FileNet IDM Viewer is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. The IBM FileNet application is recommended to open the file. It was released by IBM.
How to open FNI file?
An often recurring problem with FileNet IDM Viewer is that FNI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that FNI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FNI 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 FileNet
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IBM FileNet is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name IBM FileNet in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FNI files.
Programs to open FNI file
Remember to download programs supporting FNI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM FileNet with FNI files
If, despite the installed application, the FNI file does not start in the IBM FileNet application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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 select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM FileNet application as the default for handling the FNI file.
Step 3. Update IBM FileNet to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM FileNet program with the FileNet IDM Viewer file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FNI file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FNI file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 FNI file. However, remember that not every infected FNI 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 FNI file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FNI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IBM, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted FNI 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the FNI 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FNI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FNI file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
