What is TRC file?

The file with the extension TRC is the Database Files file type. The creator of this file is Oracle. In addition to this file, the Database Files category includes 403 related files.

The Oracle Database application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Oracle Corporation.

How to open TRC file?

An often recurring problem with Oracle Trace Format is that TRC is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TRC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TRC 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 Oracle Database

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Oracle Database is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Oracle Database into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open TRC files.

Programs to open TRC file

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

Step 2. Create association of Oracle Database with TRC files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TRC file to open in the Oracle Database application, but you can set it manually. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the TRC file with the Oracle Database application.

Step 3. Update Oracle Database to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the Oracle Database program, it is possible that Oracle Trace Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Oracle Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The TRC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to TRC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TRC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TRC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TRC file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged TRC files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Oracle
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TRC 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.
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. It is best to move TRC to a different directory.
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 you have to wait for the session to the file TRC to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TRC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
