What is HBM file?

The file in the HBM format belongs to the Developer Files category. It was designed by Hibernate Project. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Hibernate Script 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 Hibernate to handle this file. This is a program created by Hibernate Project.

How to open HBM file?

The most common problem when using Hibernate Script is that a specific HBM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open HBM, 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 HBM 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 Hibernate

The first step is to check if the computer has the Hibernate program installed. This can be achieved by typing Hibernate into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support HBM files.

Programs to open HBM file

Remember to download programs supporting HBM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Hibernate with HBM files

If, despite the installed application, the HBM file does not start in the Hibernate application, you must create a file 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 HBM file with the Hibernate program.

Step 3. Update Hibernate to the latest version

If, however, after binding Hibernate with Hibernate Script 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 Hibernate Project website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the HBM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to HBM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the HBM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected HBM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of HBM file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair HBM file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Hibernate Project
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file HBM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the HBM file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the HBM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file HBM to close. 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.
