How to open NMU file?

The main problem with EMC Documentum Client Library Query Cache is that the NMU file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file NMU to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NMU 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 Documentum Standard Family

The first step is to check if the computer has the Documentum Standard Family program installed. To do this, enter the name Documentum Standard Family into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file NMU with Documentum Standard Family. Below you will find a list of applications that support NMU files.

Programs to open NMU file

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

Step 2. Create association of Documentum Standard Family with NMU files

If, despite the installed application, the NMU file does not start in the Documentum Standard Family 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. 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the NMU file with the Documentum Standard Family application.

Step 3. Update Documentum Standard Family to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Documentum Standard Family program, it is possible that EMC Documentum Client Library Query Cache requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the EMC Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NMU file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:

The NMU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to NMU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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 NMU file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NMU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of NMU 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.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged NMU files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting EMC Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted NMU 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the NMU file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the NMU file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file NMU to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
