Hi,
I'm working on a BPMN project for my academy.
I've almost finished my work, but today I try to open the file and it doesn't open and keeps loading for hours.
Can anyone help me open my adf file?
I don't want to lose all the work I've done and do it all over again.
I have already tried to install the latest version of ARIS Express.
Thank you for your help
Hi Vito,
it is the same issue with my ARIS Express installation, that your adf data file cannot be loaded. But it can be imported in ARIS Basic or ARIS connect. In both cases the version however does not look very complete, may be because the file is corrupt and the ARIS Basic/Connect importer is more tolerant regarding formatting errors. I attach the PDF version of what I imported.
A new export ist only possible in the standard format .bpm that cannot be imported by AE.

Klemens
Hi
thanks for your help.
So you're telling me that I will no longer be able to open my file on aris express to continue my project?
In this case I think I'll do it all over again.
Are there any precautions I need to follow to ensure it doesn't happen again?
Regards
Hi Vito,
I am not a SAG developer, so I am not able to analyse the corrupted data file to find the reason why opening in AE is not possible. I indeed would propose to start the work again even it is annoying.
I had never such problems working with AE (German screens). The general recommendation is, to save the work more often looking if any error messages occur during the save procedure. Once a day you should made a backup to eventually restore an older version.
Good luck.
