What is RUJ file?

The file in the RUJ format belongs to the Misc Files category. It was designed by Oracle Corporation. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. Oracle Recovery-Unit Journal is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. The main program that supports this format is Oracle Database. This was created by Oracle Corporation.

How to open RUJ file?

The main problem with Oracle Recovery-Unit Journal is that the RUJ file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file RUJ 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 RUJ 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 Oracle Database

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Oracle Database is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Oracle Database into the system search engine. 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 RUJ files.

Programs to open RUJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Oracle Database with RUJ files

If, despite the installed application, the RUJ file does not start in the Oracle Database application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting 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. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the RUJ file with the Oracle Database application.

Step 3. Update Oracle Database to the latest version

If, however, after binding Oracle Database with Oracle Recovery-Unit Journal there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Oracle Corporation website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the RUJ file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the RUJ file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. 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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file RUJ or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover RUJ files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the RUJ 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair RUJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Oracle Corporation help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted RUJ files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move RUJ 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. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the RUJ file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
