How to open PQA file?

An often recurring problem with Query Application is that PQA is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that PQA 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 PQA 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 Novell ZENworks Suite

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Novell ZENworks Suite is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Novell ZENworks Suite into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file PQA.

Programs to open PQA file

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

Step 2. Create association of Novell ZENworks Suite with PQA files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PQA file to open in the Novell ZENworks Suite application, but you can set it manually. 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 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 PQA file with the Novell ZENworks Suite application.

Step 3. Update Novell ZENworks Suite to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Novell ZENworks Suite program, it is possible that Query Application requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Novell, Inc. page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PQA 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 PQA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the PQA file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our PQA file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover PQA 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 PQA files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing 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 PQA file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Novell, Inc., but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file PQA except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. If possible, you can try to move the PQA file to another location.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. 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 PQA file again. However, some background programs may block the PQA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
