What is SAX file?

The file with the extension SAX is the Developer Files file type. The creator of this file is Tridium, Inc.. Additionally, the Developer Files category contains 1205 of other files. Sedona Framework XML Application is most often found on 1 operating systems. These systems consist of Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. It is recommended to use Sedona Framework to handle this file. This is a program created by Tridium, Inc..

How to open SAX file?

The most common problem when using Sedona Framework XML Application is that a specific SAX is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SAX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SAX 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 Sedona Framework

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sedona Framework is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sedona Framework into the operating system search engine. 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 SAX files.

Programs to open SAX file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sedona Framework with SAX files

If, despite the installed application, the SAX file does not start in the Sedona Framework application, you must create a file association. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SAX file with the Sedona Framework program.

Step 3. Update Sedona Framework to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Sedona Framework program, it is possible that Sedona Framework XML Application requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Tridium, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SAX 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SAX file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SAX file. However, remember that not every infected SAX file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SAX file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SAX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Tridium, Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SAX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SAX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the SAX file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
