Record marked as obsolete and not updated for a long time.
Oracle IRM Wrapper is a Java-based program that allows users to wrap and unwrap files manually. It was designed to work with files of any format and on any operating system that supported its Java environment.
An irm file stores data used by Oracle IRM Wrapper during this process. The wrapper is responsible for handling the enclosed file; the irm file should therefore be used with the Oracle utility rather than treated as an independently editable document.
The Oracle IRM Wrapper format is obsolete and may no longer be available in current Oracle software.
Open an irm file with the original Oracle IRM Wrapper software, using a compatible Java environment. The utility can unwrap the file if the required software and access are available.
Because the format is obsolete, a compatible copy of Oracle IRM Wrapper may be difficult to obtain. Renaming the file or opening it with a regular document application will not extract its contents.
If the file can be unwrapped with Oracle IRM Wrapper, use the recovered original file with an application that supports that file's format.
