How to open SRJ file?

An often recurring problem with PowerBuilder Project is that SRJ is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that SRJ 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 SRJ 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. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sybase PowerBuilder in it. 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 SRJ.

Programs to open SRJ file

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

Step 2. Create association of Sybase PowerBuilder with SRJ files

If, despite the installed application, the SRJ 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 select the desired program. 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 SRJ 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The fault may also lie with the Sybase PowerBuilder program, it is possible that PowerBuilder Project requires a newer version of the program.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 SRJ 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the SRJ file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SRJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SRJ 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 SRJ file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SRJ file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Sybase Inc. help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SRJ 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the SRJ file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the SRJ file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SRJ file again. However, some background programs may block the SRJ file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
