This is a program created by IBM.
How to open MKELEM file?
An often recurring problem with IBM Rational ClearCase Data Format is that MKELEM is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file MKELEM to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the MKELEM 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 Rational ClearCase
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that IBM Rational ClearCase is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing IBM Rational ClearCase into the operating 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 MKELEM.
Programs to open MKELEM file
Remember to download programs supporting MKELEM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of IBM Rational ClearCase with MKELEM files
If, despite the installed application, the MKELEM file does not start in the IBM Rational ClearCase application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. 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 MKELEM file with the IBM Rational ClearCase application.
Step 3. Update IBM Rational ClearCase to the latest version
If, however, after binding IBM Rational ClearCase with IBM Rational ClearCase Data Format 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 IBM website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MKELEM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to MKELEM 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file MKELEM or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected MKELEM file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the MKELEM 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged MKELEM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted MKELEM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the MKELEM file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the MKELEM 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 MKELEM to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MKELEM file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
