How to open SUBSTVAR file?

The main problem with TIBCO Substitution Variable Data Format is that the SUBSTVAR file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file SUBSTVAR to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the SUBSTVAR 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.

Programs to open SUBSTVAR file

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

Step 2. Create association of TIBCO Spotfire S+ Products with SUBSTVAR files

If, despite the installed application, the SUBSTVAR file does not start in the TIBCO Spotfire S+ Products application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the SUBSTVAR file with the TIBCO Spotfire S+ Products application.

Step 3. Update TIBCO Spotfire S+ Products to the latest version

If, despite the association of the TIBCO Spotfire S+ Products program with the TIBCO Substitution Variable Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the TIBCO Software Inc page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SUBSTVAR 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:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SUBSTVAR file. 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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file SUBSTVAR or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected SUBSTVAR file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the SUBSTVAR files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
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 SUBSTVAR file corruption. 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 SUBSTVAR files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the SUBSTVAR file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the SUBSTVAR file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the SUBSTVAR file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
