Step 2. Create association of IBM FileNet with FNP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FNP file to open in the IBM FileNet 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. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button.

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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file FNP or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected FNP 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 FNP file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged FNP files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FNP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the FNP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the FNP file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the FNP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FNP file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
