What is an SN file

SN files mostly belong to SuperNova ERP.

SN files are structured XML files used to store employee attendance data. They are produced by SuperNova ERP and contain information such as check-in times, check-out times, and employee identifiers.
These files are not meant for casual editing. Instead, they are used by the ERP system to integrate attendance records into HR and payroll processes. You can view the file with any XML viewer or a plain text editor, but care is needed when making changes.

Key details as outlined by FilExt.com include:

• XML format with defined tags for attendance events
• Integration with HR systems
• Designed for reliable data exchange within the ERP framework

How to open an SN file

You need a suitable software like SuperNova ERP to open an SN file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert. If you cannot open your SN file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a SN file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

SN file format:

To find out what program is needed to open SN files, you need to determine the file format. The file format can be deduced from the file extension and the signature. However, different programs can use the same file extension, and file extensions can be assigned incorrectly. So a detailed analysis of a file is vital in order to determine the format and the associated program. Our evaluation of the SN files looks like this:

SN is seldom used as a file extension and is used by different programs with different formats. The two most popular formats are as follows:

• 20% of all SN files are based on the popular XML file format. The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a simple text-based format for representing structured information: documents, webpages, data, configuration, books, transactions, invoices, and much more. XML defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. The contents of these files can even be read by a human. The files are on average 350 KB in size and range from 1 KB to 1 MB. The following keywords are characteristic: <?xml version="1.0", col name, encoding="utf-8"?><database name='EmployeesExport'><table, table name, AttForDate, Attendance and IMEI.
• 10% of all SN files use the Microsoft Compound File format, which is also known as Compound File Binary File format (CFBF or CFB) or OLE2 Compound Document format. This general-purpose file format provides a file-system-like structure within a file for the storage of arbitrary, application-specific streams of data. The Compound Document format is always starting with the bytes D0 CF 11 E0 A1 B1 1A E1. The file contains several sections which are named like PreviewPicture, Data and Header. The file size is in the range of 30 KB to 210 KB.

All the rest of the SN files (70%) have different formats, frequently e.g. Load. Sometimes used for finger, mobile, client or parktime. Just click the "Choose your .sn file to analyze" button on this page to find out what your SN file is.
