How to open URC file?
The main problem with Unicenter Remote Control is that the URC file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open URC, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the URC 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 CA Remote Console
The first step is to check if the computer has the CA Remote Console program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name CA Remote Console 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 URC files.
Programs to open URC file
Remember to download programs supporting URC files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of CA Remote Console with URC files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the URC file to open in the CA Remote Console application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 URC file with the CA Remote Console application.
Step 3. Update CA Remote Console to the latest version
If, despite the association of the CA Remote Console program with the Unicenter Remote Control 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 CA Technologies website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the URC 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:
The URC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to URC files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file URC or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected URC files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the URC 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular URC file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use CA Technologies help.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted URC 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the URC file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file URC to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
