Alternatively, you can use 1 other programs.
How to open PTY file?
The main problem with Rational Property Set is that the PTY file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PTY 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 PTY 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
In this case, you should first verify that the Rational Rose application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Rational Rose in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open PTY files.
Programs to open PTY file
Remember to download programs supporting PTY files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rational Rose with PTY files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the PTY file still does not use the Rational Rose program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Rational Rose application as the default for handling the PTY file.
Step 3. Update Rational Rose to the latest version
If, however, after binding Rational Rose with Rational Property Set there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PTY 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 PTY file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to PTY files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. 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. 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 PTY file. Sometimes virus-infected PTY files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the PTY file. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PTY file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file PTY 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the PTY file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the PTY file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
