What is GDA file?
The file in the GDA format belongs to the Document Files category. The author of this format is The Open Group. Document Files consists of 574 similar files.

The Unix application is recommended to open the file. It was released by The Open Group.
How to open GDA file?
The most common problem when using Unix Manual Page Guide is that a specific GDA is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GDA, 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 GDA 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 Unix
The first step is to check if the computer has the Unix program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Unix in it. 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 GDA files.
Programs to open GDA file
Remember to download programs supporting GDA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Unix with GDA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the GDA file to open in the Unix 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the GDA file with the Unix application.
Step 3. Update Unix to the latest version
If, however, after binding Unix with Unix Manual Page Guide there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the The Open Group page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GDA file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GDA file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. 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 GDA or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected GDA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of GDA 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. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GDA file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use The Open Group help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GDA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
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. If possible, you can try to move the GDA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the GDA file again. 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.
