The OBX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the OBX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the OBX file on each system platform.
What is OBX file?
The OBX file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by IBM. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Rational XDE appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use Rational Rose Developer for Java to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open OBX file?
The main problem with Rational XDE is that the OBX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OBX 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 OBX 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 Rational Rose Developer for Java
In this case, you should first verify that the Rational Rose Developer for Java application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Rational Rose Developer for Java in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OBX.
Programs to open OBX file
Remember to download programs supporting OBX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rational Rose Developer for Java with OBX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OBX file to open in the Rational Rose Developer for Java application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the OBX file with the Rational Rose Developer for Java application.
Step 3. Update Rational Rose Developer for Java to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rational Rose Developer for Java with Rational XDE there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OBX file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to OBX 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 virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our OBX file. However, remember that not every infected OBX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the OBX files changes over time. 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 the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OBX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact IBM
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OBX 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move OBX 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. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OBX file again. However, some background programs may block the OBX file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
