What is an OBR file?

OBR files mostly belong to Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager. OBR files hold different types of data.
Primary Use – Atlassian Plugin Package:
The most common OBR file is a plugin package used with Atlassian products. It has a ZIP structure that the Atlassian Universal Plugin Manager installs directly into systems like Confluence. For more details, visit Atlassian Marketplace.
Other Uses:

CAD Drawings: Some OBR files store CAD drawing data for design applications (see this link).

Network Reports: Certain files are Brocade Network Advisor Reports; they are used to hold network analysis data (OpenBoard reference).

Embroidery Patterns: A few OBR files contain Brother embroidery format data that specialized software can open.

Defense & Military Documents: Some files are used for Australian defence or military records. They are secured and often need dedicated viewers, referenced by Objective Connect (Objective).

Optical Data: A small number contain optical backscatter reflectometer measurements, used with tools like Luna OFDR Analyzer.

Other Documents: There are also cases of Bluebeam Revu and OpenBoard documents which require their corresponding software (Hyland and Objective Connect).

How to Open: Identify the file’s purpose. For ZIP-based plugin packages, a standard decompression tool can reveal the contents. For other types, use the vendor-specific viewer or editor to view the file.

OBR file extension format:

Every file has a defined file format, i.e. how the data is arranged in the file. The first characters in a file identify the file format, for example, HTML files start with the bytes <html>. 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. Below is our analysis of the OBR files:

Files with the OBR extension are quite widely used. This file type mainly uses a special format. The file formats most commonly found in OBR files are:

70% of all OBR files use the ZIP algorithm, multiple files are compressed and combined into one OBR file. Such a ZIP file contains 4 to 6 files with names like obr.xml, \META-INF\MANIFEST.MF and \dependencies\. Tip: If you rename the file ending to .zip and then double-click it, you see the included files and images. Most of these files are 240 KB to 41 MB in size. The files contain the following words: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, META-INF/PK, KRSt, J3sJ and r.JM,IM. These files are attributed to jira, plugin, confluence, application, drawio, ceginfo, insight and scroll.
9% of all OBR files start with the bytes fB crucial for this file format. If you open these files in a text editor, you can view and read the content yourself. The files are 10 bytes to 11 bytes in size, with a median of 10 bytes. Such files are related to raaf.

All other OBR files (21%) have different formats, often e.g. OBR. These files sometimes refer to software, portfolio, tempo, servicedesk, server or integration. If you want to find out which format your OBR file belongs to, just click on the button "Choose your .obr file to analyze".
