It was released by Apache Software Foundation.
How to open JMX file?
The most common problem when using Apache JMeter is that a specific JMX is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that JMX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JMX 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 Apache JMeter
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Apache JMeter is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Apache JMeter 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 JMX with Apache JMeter. Below you will find a list of applications that support JMX files.
Programs to open JMX file
Remember to download programs supporting JMX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache JMeter with JMX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the JMX file to open in the Apache JMeter 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JMX file with the Apache JMeter application.
Step 3. Update Apache JMeter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apache JMeter program, it is possible that Apache JMeter requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Apache Software Foundation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JMX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The JMX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JMX file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JMX or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected JMX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of JMX 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular JMX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Apache Software Foundation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JMX 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 JMX to a different directory.
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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file JMX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JMX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
