The JTL file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the JTL files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the JTL file on each system platform.
What is JTL file?
The JTL file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by Apache Software Foundation. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. JMeter Test Results is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Apache JMeter to handle this file. This is a program created by Apache Software Foundation.
How to open JTL file?
The main problem with JMeter Test Results is that the JTL file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that JTL files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the JTL 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
The first step is to check if the computer has the Apache JMeter program installed. 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 JTL with Apache JMeter. Below is a list of programs that support the file JTL.
Programs to open JTL file
Remember to download programs supporting JTL files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Apache JMeter with JTL files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the JTL file still does not use the Apache JMeter program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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 JTL file with the Apache JMeter program.
Step 3. Update Apache JMeter to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Apache JMeter program, it is possible that JMeter Test Results requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Apache Software Foundation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the JTL 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 JTL file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to JTL files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the JTL file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected JTL files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the JTL file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged JTL files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Apache Software Foundation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted JTL files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move JTL 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the JTL file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the JTL file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
