How to open WWI file?
An often recurring problem with SAP EHS WWI Document Format is that WWI is not associated with the correct program file. This is manifested by the fact that WWI files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WWI 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 SAP EHS
In this case, you should first verify that the SAP EHS application is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name SAP EHS 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 WWI files.
Programs to open WWI file
Remember to download programs supporting WWI files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SAP EHS with WWI files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WWI file to open in the SAP EHS application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the WWI file with the SAP EHS program.
Step 3. Update SAP EHS to the latest version
If, however, after binding SAP EHS with SAP EHS WWI Document Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. 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 WWI file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the WWI file contents when downloading or copying. 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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the WWI file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WWI files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of WWI file may not always be supported by the latest software version. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WWI file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting , but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file WWI 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. Copying the WWI file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects 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 WWI file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WWI file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
