How to open GEODATABASE-SHM file?
The most common problem when using ArcGIS Runtime SDK Data Format is that a specific GEODATABASE-SHM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open GEODATABASE-SHM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEODATABASE-SHM 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 ArcGIS Runtime SDK
The first step is to check if the computer has the ArcGIS Runtime SDK program installed. This can be achieved by typing ArcGIS Runtime SDK into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file GEODATABASE-SHM with ArcGIS Runtime SDK. Below is a list of programs that support the file GEODATABASE-SHM.
Programs to open GEODATABASE-SHM file
Remember to download programs supporting GEODATABASE-SHM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Runtime SDK with GEODATABASE-SHM files
If, despite the installed application, the GEODATABASE-SHM file does not start in the ArcGIS Runtime SDK 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 GEODATABASE-SHM file with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK program.
Step 3. Update ArcGIS Runtime SDK to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the ArcGIS Runtime SDK program, it is possible that ArcGIS Runtime SDK Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Esri website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEODATABASE-SHM file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The GEODATABASE-SHM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the GEODATABASE-SHM file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GEODATABASE-SHM or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GEODATABASE-SHM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the GEODATABASE-SHM 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 ability to automatically repair GEODATABASE-SHM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted GEODATABASE-SHM 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. It is best to move GEODATABASE-SHM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 GEODATABASE-SHM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the GEODATABASE-SHM file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
