All such files that comprise of the DMP extension holds data files that originally have been ‘dumped’ from the system’s program memory space. These files are normally created when a program crashes or an error occurs. In most of the scenarios, the DMP file format is used by the advanced computer users or technical professionals to troubleshoot other application issues and system errors. Microsoft Corporation saves all the DMP formats in a proprietary file and make use of these to debug all the system applications.
Some of the Oracle applications also make use of the DMP file extensions. While an Oracle applications opt for a bit by bit simulation for a run analysis and it surely will save the recreation with the DMP file format.
In addition to the problem described above, i.e. the lack of the appropriate application to support the .DMP file, there may be several reasons that cause problems with opening and operation of the data format:
A quite common problem is the lack of application in the appropriate version. Even if you have an application, with the help of which you should open the .DMP file, you may have a problem with it because of its version. Perhaps in previous versions the application has not yet supported the .DMP file, so download the update and check again.
If you have already installed the appropriate application, and it is the correct version, the file may not open correctly, because the operating system does not have information that this program supports the file. So you need to "show" which program the computer should use. To do this:
It also happens that the file you want to open is corrupt and therefore there is no such possibility. In this situation, you should find its different version, or ask a person from whom you got, to send it again.
There may be several reasons why you cannot open the file with .DMP extension. Directly on this website you can find a solution of the most common problem with the .DMP file – that you do not have on your computer the appropriate program to open the file.
