The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the RPZ 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 Crystal Reports
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Crystal Reports is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Crystal Reports in it. 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 RPZ.
Programs to open RPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting RPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Crystal Reports with RPZ files
If, despite the installed application, the RPZ file does not start in the Crystal Reports application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Crystal Reports application as the default for handling the RPZ file.
Step 3. Update Crystal Reports to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Crystal Reports program, it is possible that Crystal Reports ZIP Compressed And Encrypted Report requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the SAP AG website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RPZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The RPZ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to RPZ files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RPZ or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected RPZ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the RPZ 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged RPZ files. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SAP AG, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file RPZ 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 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. It is best to move RPZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the RPZ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the RPZ file again. However, some background programs may block the RPZ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
