first commit takes very long / fails

Question

Hello, 

we have an issue where the push of a new ecoinvent database to the collaboration server. 

Approach:  

1. Created a new repository in the openLCA server tool with the Group "S&IM Group".
2. Connected the database in the local openLCA software to the repository: 
   1. rightclick - repository - connect 
   2. copied the URL of the repository from the openLCA server tool to the field URL in the "Connect GIT repository window" in the openLCA software tool.
   3. Added my user name
   4. clicked on connect.
3. Rightclick on the database name in the openLCA software -  respository - clicked commit
4. Added a note "first commit" and clicked on "commit and push"
5. Progress info "Writing data to repository: first commit

We then run into the problem that the commit takes very long and needs to be cancelled after 2h or so. 

Is there something we need to change?

Which version of the collaboration server and which version of openLCA are you using? I assume it just hangs on that location indefinetly and then you shut down the application?

Hi Sebastian, thanks for the answer.
Both systems are on v2.1.

Yes, it's stuck on this screen.

Thanks!

Can you try it with the current 2.1.1 version of openLCA?

---

Sorry, the user just told me they are using 2.1.1.
So on server we are on 2.1 (I think this is the current version, right?), and on client on 2.1.1.

Anything else you can recommend?

Can you run the database validation to see if everything is correct? There is a known issue with duplicate ref_id values

---

Yes, this solved the issue! Thank you

Answer 1

The solution is to validate the database and check for duplicate reference ids, which are causing this problem. Assigning unique reference ids should solve the problem.
