How to open SSJ file?

The most common problem when using STAR Splice Junction Data Format is that a specific SSJ is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open SSJ, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSJ 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 STAR

In this case, you should first verify that the STAR application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name STAR into the system search engine.

Step 2. Create association of STAR with SSJ files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSJ file still does not use the STAR program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SSJ file with the STAR application.

Step 3. Update STAR to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the STAR program, it is possible that STAR Splice Junction Data Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the alexdobin website or update the program from the application.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The SSJ file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SSJ file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SSJ file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SSJ file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of SSJ file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged SSJ files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file SSJ 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.
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 SSJ 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 you have to wait for the session to the file SSJ to close. However, some background programs may block the SSJ file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
