How to open PARTITIONS file?
An often recurring problem with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Partitions Format is that PARTITIONS is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file PARTITIONS 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 PARTITIONS 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 Microsoft SQL Server
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Microsoft SQL Server is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Microsoft SQL Server in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support PARTITIONS files.
Programs to open PARTITIONS file
Remember to download programs supporting PARTITIONS files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft SQL Server with PARTITIONS files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PARTITIONS file still does not use the Microsoft SQL Server program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the PARTITIONS file with the Microsoft SQL Server program.
Step 3. Update Microsoft SQL Server to the latest version
If, however, after binding Microsoft SQL Server with Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services Partitions Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PARTITIONS 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 PARTITIONS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. 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 PARTITIONS file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PARTITIONS files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the PARTITIONS files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged PARTITIONS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PARTITIONS 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the PARTITIONS file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the PARTITIONS 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 PARTITIONS to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
