    This looks like an End of File missing.

    Propably the file was not saved completely.
    Have a look at your back-up file. If that file is larger than the smc it is likely that it was not saved completely.

      Hello @Ricardo

      Would you be able to send the log files to [email protected]? It would be beneficial to have the logs from the instance the project was last saved.

      Kind regards,

      Toni

        any results so far?

        same the happened here!
        Yesterday I have updated to 9.10.6.23 and got the same message.
        I need urgent help because I need to file in a report until monday evening…

        I have installed ver. 9.10.0.129 and the same message is appearing. The newest Version of Solibri is not the case here.

          Hello @agroni,

          Usually these problems are not related to the Solibri version which the user is trying to open the files with, i.e. the same error message will arise with any Solibri version. These problems are typically related to an issue during saving, as Jeroen pointed out. Would you also be able to provide logs from the time the file was last saved and send them to [email protected]?

          Kind regards,

          Toni on behalf of the Solibri team

            So

            java.io.EOFException: Unexpected end of ZLIB input stream
            

            is an indication that part of the file is missing from the filesystem. It also usually means there is nothing that can be done to recover it, unless you have the backup functionality in use and that the backup file is not corrupted.

              This was indeed the case! Thanks. I changed the backup file to .SMC and that worked.

              Toni, unfortunately I can’t find a log-file in the folder where it should be located. Could it be possible that this file wasn’t made?

              Agroni, try changing the .BAK file to .SMC if that helps for you.

                Well, this is a total disaster…worse then CoronaVirus!
                I have looked for my SMC backup file, but cannot find it in the original folder! Reasons??? Is it also stored somewhere else?
                If I don’t find this backup file, I will loose only 6 days of work which might not be a lot… but… I will loose more then 70 documented issues! 😕

                    @agroni you can find log files under solibri installation folder.

                    Windows: C:\Program Files\Solibri\SOLIBRI\log
                    Mac: /Applications/Solibri/log

                      The same just happend here to a file today too, I have never had this issue before and therefore really doubt that this accumulated occurence of this problem right now is just a coincidence …

                        Dear @Solibrians,
                        more and more issues are appearing with this “new” phenomenon of not being able to open the previously saved files. This is not a strategy, that in my opinion Solibri should follow. Users will have tons of lost hours and if also maybe days if this will continue happening.

                        I understand if a crash happens during working, that a software can report errors. In this case the user should have the possibility to restore his data from an autosave (which is requst to Solibri to introduce: see also Autosave and Backup by @Tamas-Kurucso). But a total No Go is the scenario where a user consciously saves the file, goes to sleep and the next day he gets an error… and he drops the mug with hot coffey on the floor from his shock.

                        Therefore in my opinion, the Software should not allow saving a file, that it is not going to be able to open the next day!
                        I hope you agree on this one with me…

                          Hello!

                          We are aware of the issue and are currently looking into it. This is precisely reason we ask for log files to get as many details as possible, so that our developers can pinpoint the issue at hand as fast as possible.

                          We agree that this behaviour is not acceptable. Currently, it seems that these issues stem from problems during file saving, and we are considering adding an additional save check and/or error message in case of any problems with saving, which will prompt the user to save the file again.

                          Kind regards,

                          Toni on behalf of the Solibri team

                                Hi, any progress in this topic? Same by me, from two backups one is also corrupted, so I have to repeat a lot of work. It is really annoying, in some cases it is not even possible to reconstruct, what have been done maybe several days before…

                                    Hello!

                                    We are currently working on a solution for this, which should be out in the next public release (9.10.8). The solution will improve the saving feature, and generally speaking, will check that the save has been fully completed. Please keep a look out for it in the release notes.

                                    Kind regards,

                                    Toni on behalf of the Solibri team

                                          Hi Toni,
                                          Sorry for being a pain in the a**, but may I know when this public release is going to be launched?

                                          Again today I got this error message with another project. I opened the backup file and Solibri has no clue about my created issues/slides. I have lost 54 slides in Solibri which I have uploaded yesterday into BIMcollab.!!!
                                          Pffuhhhhh 😓
