Opening a CMP File

The CMP file type is primarily associated with Sharepoint.

CMP	File extension: CMP
	File type:	server backup

What is a CMP file?

CMP files mostly belong to Sharepoint by Microsoft. A CMP file contains the copper component side (copper layers/traces) of a printed circuit board saved in Extended Gerber (RS-274X) format using various EDA programs. Generic CADD uses a different CMP file to store vector-based components of a drawing. Another type of CMP file contains a footprint definition of an electronic circuit schematic created with KiCad electronics design automation program. A CMP file created by SolidEdge contains a wire harness design. FIFA soccer video games use patches saved in ZIP-compressed CMP files. The Connection Manager on server editions of Windows uses a CMP file to store settings.

How can I open a CMP file?

You need a suitable software like Sharepoint to open a CMP 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 CMP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a CMP file directly in the browser:. Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.

CMP file extension format:

Each file has a definite file format, that is, how the stored data is arranged in the file. A file format is determined by the file extension and signature, so JPEG images have the extension .jpg and the first bytes in the file are ÿØÿ. Frequently, however, one file extension is used by different programs for different file formats, and one file format for different file extensions. Exact knowledge of the format is therefore important in order to solve problems occurring in files. Below is our analysis of the CMP files:

The CMP file extension is quite widespread and includes very many different file formats. The two most popular formats are as follows:

6% of all CMP files use ZIP compression, that is, a CMP file includes multiple compressed files. The average file count is 3 with most CMP files containing between 1 - 70 compressed files. If you'd like to see the images and files included, just rename the file extension to .zip and double-click. The files are 5 KB to 22 MB in size, with a median of 90 KB. The file name esdndata.cmp is typical for these files. These files can be linked to customer, bill and stadion.
5% of all CMP files are LEADTools CMP Image Compressed bitmap files. These files contain neither text nor words, but only data. The files are often between 16 KB and 630 KB in size. The following keywords are characteristic: LEAD. A common filename is DDL02H.CMP.

The remaining 89% of all CMP files are files with no common format, the following 40 formats can be found: KiCad footprint information, HotDocs Component, JSON, CAP, UTF-16 (LE), DOC, XML, EXE, GZIP, zlib, JFIF, Lead, COMPRESS, UTF, LzH, Bso, Relic, CPI and LZO. Often described as gameover, spritesheet, reverse, centaur, keyfile or tile.

How to solve problems with CMP files

Associate the CMP file extension with the correct application.
Update your software that should actually open server backups. Because only the current version supports the latest CMP file format. Search, therefore, e.g. on the Microsoft manufacturer website after an available Sharepoint update.
To make sure that your CMP file is not corrupted or virus-infected, get the file again and scan it with Google's virustotal.com.
