I am having issues with OpenLCA Database and adding providers when i add inputs in a process.

Question

Here is what i done:

1. Downloaded OpenLCA Installer from their website (OpenLCA2.7)

2. Logged into OpenNexus and downloaded ecoinvent database now the one i needed was a zip package so i downloaded the latest zloca file and used that to create the database.

3. Downloaded the Ecoinvent.391 zip pacakge fron Nexus

4. Laucnhed OpenLCA, launched latest database (ecoinvent 3.5) and went to File > Import > Other > Json(Zip Package) > attached downloaded ecoinvent 391 and clicked finish

5. Now All the flows and processes i need were there.

6. Created a Flow for my project > selected 'Product' and 'Number of Items' > Finish

7. Clicked Create Procoess > Seletced the previoudly created flow > clicked finish

8. Clicked Inputs/Outputs > Added One Product.e.g. Structural Timber > Add Quantites and Units

9. PROBLEM: I go to select providers and it is blank.

What have i done wrong?

What have i done wrong?

Well, a lot ;)

First, your steps are incomplete. I assume you did not only download the installer but also run it on your computer to actually install. Why did you start with ecoinvent 391 which is 5 years old? "launched latest database (ecoinvent 3.5)" - we are at 3.12 now. 

PROBLEM: I go to select providers and it is blank.

What do you mean?

I tend to think you are a bot. If not, my apologies.
