The SSX file is supported on 1 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the SSX files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the SSX file on each system platform.
What is SSX file?
The file with the extension SSX is the Database Files file type. It was designed by IBM. Additionally, the Database Files category contains 403 of other files. IBM Rational XDE is supported by 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use Rational XDE to handle this file. This is a program created by IBM.
How to open SSX file?
The main problem with IBM Rational XDE is that the SSX file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that SSX files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SSX 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 Rational XDE
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Rational XDE is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Rational XDE into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file SSX with Rational XDE. Below is a list of programs that support the file SSX.
Programs to open SSX file
Remember to download programs supporting SSX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Rational XDE with SSX files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSX file still does not use the Rational XDE program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 SSX file with the Rational XDE program.
Step 3. Update Rational XDE to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Rational XDE program, it is possible that IBM Rational XDE requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the IBM website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSX 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 SSX file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to SSX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our SSX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover SSX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SSX file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular SSX file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting IBM, 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 SSX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the SSX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SSX file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SSX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
