What is GEODATABASE-WAL file?

The file with the extension GEODATABASE-WAL is the GIS Files file type. Additionally, the GIS Files category contains 255 of other files. ArcGIS Runtime SDK Data Format is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The main program that supports this format is ArcGIS Runtime SDK. This was created by Esri.

How to open GEODATABASE-WAL file?

The most common problem when using ArcGIS Runtime SDK Data Format is that a specific GEODATABASE-WAL is not associated with the program. This causes the file GEODATABASE-WAL to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the GEODATABASE-WAL 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name ArcGIS Runtime SDK 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 GEODATABASE-WAL files.

Programs to open GEODATABASE-WAL file

Remember to download programs supporting GEODATABASE-WAL 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-WAL files

If, despite the installed application, the GEODATABASE-WAL 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. 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArcGIS Runtime SDK application as the default for handling the GEODATABASE-WAL file.

Step 3. Update ArcGIS Runtime SDK to the latest version

If, however, after binding ArcGIS Runtime SDK with ArcGIS Runtime SDK Data Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Esri website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GEODATABASE-WAL file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to GEODATABASE-WAL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the GEODATABASE-WAL file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected GEODATABASE-WAL file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the GEODATABASE-WAL files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged GEODATABASE-WAL files. 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.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted GEODATABASE-WAL 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.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. 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 GEODATABASE-WAL file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file GEODATABASE-WAL to close. However, some background programs may block the GEODATABASE-WAL file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
