How to open LG1 file?
The main problem with IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log Backup is that the LG1 file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that LG1 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 LG1 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 IBM Tivoli Monitoring
The first step is to check if the computer has the IBM Tivoli Monitoring program installed. To do this, enter the name IBM Tivoli Monitoring into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file LG1.
Programs to open LG1 file
Remember to download programs supporting LG1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Tivoli Monitoring with LG1 files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LG1 file still does not use the IBM Tivoli Monitoring program, it means no association. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the IBM Tivoli Monitoring application as the default for handling the LG1 file.
Step 3. Update IBM Tivoli Monitoring to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the IBM Tivoli Monitoring program, it is possible that IBM Tivoli Monitoring Log Backup requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the LG1 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 suggests truncating the LG1 file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LG1 file. However, remember that not every infected LG1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of LG1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular LG1 file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use IBM help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted LG1 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the LG1 file to another location.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LG1 file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
