You can use Lotus Notes in case Lotus Domino cannot be used.
How to open STH file?
The main problem with Lotus Domino Stash Format is that the STH file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open STH, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the STH 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 Lotus Domino
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Lotus Domino is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Lotus Domino into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support STH files.
Programs to open STH file
Remember to download programs supporting STH files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Lotus Domino with STH files
If, despite the installed application, the STH file does not start in the Lotus Domino application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the STH file with the Lotus Domino program.
Step 3. Update Lotus Domino to the latest version
If, however, after binding Lotus Domino with Lotus Domino Stash Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the IBM page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the STH file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the STH file. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our STH file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover STH 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 STH 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular STH 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 file STH 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move STH to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with 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 STH file again. However, some background programs may block the STH file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
