What is UNV file?
The UNV file has been categorized as Misc Files. It was designed by SAP AG. Misc Files consists of 6033 similar files. BusinessObjects Universe appears on 1 operating systems as a functional file.

This was created by SAP AG.
How to open UNV file?
An often recurring problem with BusinessObjects Universe is that UNV is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that UNV files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UNV 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 BusinessObjects
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that BusinessObjects is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name BusinessObjects into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below you will find a list of applications that support UNV files.
Programs to open UNV file
Remember to download programs supporting UNV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of BusinessObjects with UNV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the UNV file still does not use the BusinessObjects 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the UNV file with the BusinessObjects program.
Step 3. Update BusinessObjects to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the BusinessObjects program, it is possible that BusinessObjects Universe requires a newer version of the program.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 SAP AG page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UNV 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 UNV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the UNV file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the UNV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover UNV 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 UNV 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 the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair UNV file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting SAP AG, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UNV 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. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move UNV 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 it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the UNV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the UNV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
