What is LIS file?

The file with the extension LIS is the Text Files file type. In addition to this file, the Text Files category includes 440 related files. SQR Output Format appears on 2 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. There are also 1 alternative programs to handle the LIS file.

How to open LIS file?

The main problem with SQR Output Format is that the LIS file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open LIS, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the LIS 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 Hyperion SQR Production Reporting

In this case, you should first verify that the Hyperion SQR Production Reporting application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Hyperion SQR Production Reporting in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file LIS with Hyperion SQR Production Reporting. Below you will find a list of applications that support LIS files.

Step 2. Create association of Hyperion SQR Production Reporting with LIS files

If, despite the installed application, the LIS file does not start in the Hyperion SQR Production Reporting 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LIS file with the Hyperion SQR Production Reporting application.

Step 3. Update Hyperion SQR Production Reporting to the latest version

If, however, after binding Hyperion SQR Production Reporting with SQR Output Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

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

The LIS file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the LIS file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our LIS file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover LIS 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 LIS files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair LIS file corruption.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted LIS 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move LIS to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the LIS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file LIS to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the LIS file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
