How to open JOR file?

The main problem with Microsoft SQL Server Journal is that the JOR file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open JOR, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JOR 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 Microsoft SQL Server

In this case, you should first verify that the Microsoft SQL Server application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Microsoft SQL Server 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 JOR with Microsoft SQL Server. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open JOR files.

Programs to open JOR file

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

Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server with JOR files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JOR file still does not use the Microsoft SQL Server program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 JOR file with the Microsoft SQL Server application.

Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version

If, however, after binding Microsoft SQL Server with Microsoft SQL Server Journal 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 Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JOR 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 JOR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JOR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file JOR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected JOR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of JOR 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 option of recovering data from damaged JOR files. You can restore the file from a backup or use Microsoft Corporation help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted JOR 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 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 JOR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the JOR file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JOR file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
