What is OWR file?
The OWR file has been categorized as Archive Files. The creator of this file is Oracle Corporation. Archive Files consists of 619 similar files.

How to open OWR file?
The main problem with PeopleSoft Results Archive is that the OWR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that OWR files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OWR 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 PeopleSoft Enterprise
In this case, you should first verify that the PeopleSoft Enterprise application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name PeopleSoft Enterprise 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 OWR with PeopleSoft Enterprise. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open OWR files.
Programs to open OWR file
Remember to download programs supporting OWR files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of PeopleSoft Enterprise with OWR files
If, despite the installed application, the OWR file does not start in the PeopleSoft Enterprise 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the PeopleSoft Enterprise application as the default for handling the OWR file.
Step 3. Update PeopleSoft Enterprise to the latest version
If, despite the association of the PeopleSoft Enterprise program with the PeopleSoft Results Archive file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OWR file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The OWR file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to OWR files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file OWR or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected OWR files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of OWR 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair OWR file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Oracle 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 OWR 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 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 OWR to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file OWR to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the OWR file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
