What is SRA file?
The file with the extension SRA is the Misc Files file type. It was designed by Sybase Inc.. In addition to this file, the Misc Files category includes 6033 related files. Powerbuilder 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. The main program that supports this format is Sybase PowerBuilder. This was created by Sybase Inc..
How to open SRA file?
The most common problem when using Powerbuilder Application is that a specific SRA is not associated with the program. This is manifested by the fact that SRA files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SRA 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 Sybase PowerBuilder
In this case, you should first verify that the Sybase PowerBuilder application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing Sybase PowerBuilder into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file SRA.
Programs to open SRA file
Remember to download programs supporting SRA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sybase PowerBuilder with SRA files
If, despite the installed application, the SRA file does not start in the Sybase PowerBuilder 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. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the SRA file with the Sybase PowerBuilder program.
Step 3. Update Sybase PowerBuilder to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sybase PowerBuilder program, it is possible that Powerbuilder Application requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sybase Inc. website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SRA 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SRA 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SRA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected SRA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of SRA file may not always be supported by the latest software version. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SRA files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Sybase Inc.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted SRA 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. If possible, you can try to move the SRA file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRA file again. 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.
