How to open JNL file?
The main problem with Ingres Journal is that the JNL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that JNL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JNL 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 Ingres Database
In this case, you should first verify that the Ingres Database application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Ingres Database into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JNL with Ingres Database. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JNL files.
Programs to open JNL file
Remember to download programs supporting JNL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Ingres Database with JNL files
If, despite the installed application, the JNL file does not start in the Ingres Database 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. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the JNL file with the Ingres Database application.
Step 3. Update Ingres Database to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Ingres Database program, it is possible that Ingres Journal requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Actian Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JNL file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the JNL file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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 JNL or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover JNL files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the JNL files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JNL file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Actian Corporation help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JNL files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move JNL to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the JNL file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JNL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JNL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
