The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TDUMP 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 NotePad++ text editor

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that NotePad++ text editor is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NotePad++ text editor in it. 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 TDUMP files.

Step 2. Create association of NotePad++ text editor with TDUMP files

If, despite the installed application, the TDUMP file does not start in the NotePad++ text editor 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. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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 TDUMP file with the NotePad++ text editor application.

Step 3. Update NotePad++ text editor to the latest version

If, despite the association of the NotePad++ text editor program with the JIRA Thread Dump Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Notepad++ Team website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TDUMP 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 computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the TDUMP file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected TDUMP files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TDUMP file. 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TDUMP file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TDUMP files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the TDUMP file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. 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 TDUMP file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TDUMP file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
