Hi, I have tried to import all three Ecoinvent files (unit) into the same database to be able to switch between allocation types globally.

It worked fine for cut-off and APOS, but when trying to import consequential I allways end up with an error. Can you help me debugg this (copied from the log file):

5305325ModalContextERRORorg.openlca.core.database.ProcessDaoError while inserting Process
javax.persistence.RollbackException: Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.6.4.v20160829-44060b6): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException

     at org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.transaction.EntityTransactionImpl.commit(EntityTransactionImpl.java:159)
 

... and alot of more information, followed by a second error saying: "Failed to import processes" 

But this later is no doubt a consequence of the first one.

I am using the precomiled openLCA 1.7.0 from your website on Arch linux distribution, if you need to know.

Thanks

Here's the md5sum for my file so you can check that it isn't corrupt before you start digging:

Some of the processes in the consequential database have longer names. We modified the database schema for the consequential database temporarily to support these names prior to releasing a new openLCA version, that will support longer names by default.

Therefore you will need to start with the consequential database (which supports longer names) and import APOS and cutoff into it. This way it should work.

Thanks, I haven't tried yet, but it makes sense. I'll update if it don't work
