Step 1. Install IBM DB2
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM DB2 program installed. To do this, enter the name IBM DB2 into the system search engine.

Programs to open GPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting GPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM DB2 with GPZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the GPZ file still does not use the IBM DB2 program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. 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 GPZ file with the IBM DB2 program.
Step 3. Update IBM DB2 to the latest version
If, however, after binding IBM DB2 with IBM DB2 Document Manager Document History 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 IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the GPZ 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 GPZ 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file GPZ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover GPZ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of GPZ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair GPZ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file GPZ 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.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the GPZ file to another location will fix the problem.
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. However, some background programs may block the GPZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
