The OCC file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the OCC files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the OCC file on each system platform.
What is OCC file?
The OCC file has been categorized as Data Files. It was designed by Oceanic Consulting Corporation. In addition to this file, the Data Files category includes 1326 related files. Oceanic DataPool Format is supported by 1 operating systems. The file will work on Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use MATLAB to handle this file. This is a program created by MathWorks, Inc..
How to open OCC file?
The most common problem when using Oceanic DataPool Format is that a specific OCC is not associated with the program. This causes the file OCC to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OCC 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 MATLAB
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that MATLAB is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing MATLAB into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file OCC with MATLAB. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OCC files.
Programs to open OCC file
Remember to download programs supporting OCC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of MATLAB with OCC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OCC file to open in the MATLAB application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 OCC file with the MATLAB application.
Step 3. Update MATLAB to the latest version
If, despite the association of the MATLAB program with the Oceanic DataPool Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the MathWorks, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OCC 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. This suggests truncating the OCC file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OCC file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OCC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OCC file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular OCC file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Oceanic Consulting Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted OCC 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 OCC to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the OCC 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 OCC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OCC file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
