How to open ROP file?
The most common problem when using Actuate Parameter Template Format is that a specific ROP is not associated with the program. This causes the file ROP to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ROP 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 Actuate Analytics

If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support ROP files.
Programs to open ROP file
Remember to download programs supporting ROP files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Actuate Analytics with ROP files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ROP file to open in the Actuate Analytics 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. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ROP file with the Actuate Analytics application.
Step 3. Update Actuate Analytics to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Actuate Analytics program with the Actuate Parameter Template 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 Actuate Corporation website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ROP file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the ROP 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ROP file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ROP file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ROP 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.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ROP files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted ROP files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
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. It is best to move ROP to a different directory.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ROP file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
