What is JRXML file?

JasperReports Layout Format appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The JasperReports application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Jaspersoft Corporation. There are also 2 alternative programs to handle the JRXML file.

How to open JRXML file?

An often recurring problem with JasperReports Layout Format is that JRXML is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that JRXML 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 JRXML 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 JasperReports

The first step is to check if the computer has the JasperReports program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name JasperReports in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file JRXML with JasperReports. Below you will find a list of applications that support JRXML files.

Programs to open JRXML file

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

Step 2. Create association of JasperReports with JRXML files

If, despite the installed application, the JRXML file does not start in the JasperReports application, you must create a file 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the JRXML file with the JasperReports program.

Step 3. Update JasperReports to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the JasperReports program, it is possible that JasperReports Layout Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Jaspersoft Corporation page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JRXML 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the JRXML file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JRXML file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JRXML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JRXML file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair JRXML file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Jaspersoft help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file JRXML 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. It is best to move JRXML to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JRXML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JRXML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
