The FRAGMENT file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the FRAGMENT files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the FRAGMENT file on each system platform.
What is FRAGMENT file?
The file in the FRAGMENT format belongs to the Misc Files category. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. IBM DB2 Object Format appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use IBM DB2 to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open FRAGMENT file?
The most common problem when using IBM DB2 Object Format is that a specific FRAGMENT is not associated with the program. This causes the file FRAGMENT 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 FRAGMENT 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 DB2
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IBM DB2 is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IBM DB2 into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support FRAGMENT files.
Programs to open FRAGMENT file
Remember to download programs supporting FRAGMENT files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM DB2 with FRAGMENT files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the FRAGMENT file still does not use the IBM DB2 program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FRAGMENT file with the IBM DB2 program.
Step 3. Update IBM DB2 to the latest version
If, despite the association of the IBM DB2 program with the IBM DB2 Object Format 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 IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FRAGMENT file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FRAGMENT file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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 FRAGMENT file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected FRAGMENT files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of FRAGMENT file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular FRAGMENT file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted FRAGMENT 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. It is best to move FRAGMENT to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
