HOW TO ADD A LIBRARY INSTEAD A DATABASE TO A PRODUCT SYSTEM

Question

Just to safeguard any possible changes to your database I saw you can use a read-only library instead to your product system. How do we do that and how can we be on the safe side that we use the library and not the database? In case of a IPC server connection would that be e problem?

Thank you

Hello,

You can’t just switch this within the product system. I recommend exporting the database as a library first (https://greendelta.github.io/openLCA2-manual/libraries/exporting_database_as_library.html?highlight=library#exporting-a-database-as-a-library) then adding it to a new, empty database. After that, import your foreground processes from the normal database and create the product system afresh in the library version.
