Issue with opening *mpp files using RAM
![]()
Hi,
We have an issue while trying to open the .mpp files (which was created using MS Project 2007 or 2010) from RAM using Internet Explorer. It open as an unrecognized file format.
Below is the error message we are getting
![]()
One suggestion we have is to set the mime type in the config file to only download the file and not to attempt to open it in the browser
Let us know if this is a known issue or any workaround / fix is available.
RAM Version : 7.5.1.1 and WAS : - 8.0

Hi,
It should be Microsoft's function to open up mpp in IE. I think you have to do some settings, such as lower the security of IE , add file association, set MIME type in WAS, etc... Thanks a lot. anoop mc selected this answer as the correct answer

The link talks about the same - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21269129
For embedded WebSphere Application Server v6.1 or other WebSphere Application Server servers without an admin console:
1. Locate the virtualhosts.xml file in the folder WAS_HOME/profiles/<profile name>/config/cells/<cell name> 2. MIME types are defined in the following XML format: <mimeTypes xmi:id="MimeEntry_91" type="application/msword"> <extensions>doc</extensions> <extensions>docx</extensions> </mimeTypes> Where "MimeEntry_91" is a unique identifier in the file. 3. Save the file. 4. Start the WebSphere Application Server server. |

Adding MIME type and restarting the WAS Service did not resolve the above issue.
Another suggestion came to us is to disable the artifact browse function in RAM. So that users can download the MS Project Files locally and open.
Let us know if there is a way to disable the artifact browse function,

Since we have WAS Integrated Console, As stated in the technote after adding the MIME type of extension mpp now it is working fine.
Having made the entry we have restarted the WAS Service from the Services Console.
