How to open SLNK file?
An often recurring problem with SAP Business All-in-One Extension is that SLNK is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open SLNK, 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 SLNK 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 SAP Business All-in-One
In this case, you should first verify that the SAP Business All-in-One application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SAP Business All-in-One into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SLNK with SAP Business All-in-One. Below is a list of programs that support the file SLNK.
Programs to open SLNK file
Remember to download programs supporting SLNK files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SAP Business All-in-One with SLNK files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SLNK file still does not use the SAP Business All-in-One program, it means no association. 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SLNK file with the SAP Business All-in-One application.
Step 3. Update SAP Business All-in-One to the latest version
If, despite the association of the SAP Business All-in-One program with the SAP Business All-in-One Extension file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. 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 SLNK file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The SLNK file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SLNK 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. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SLNK or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SLNK 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 SLNK file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SLNK 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.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SLNK 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SLNK 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. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SLNK file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
