Okeobau.dat
Posted: 23 Feb 2018 12:32
Hello,
I m trying to import the oekobau.dat database to openLCA.
I downloaded the .zolca file from the official oekobaudat homepage.
I imported it by right clicking in the navigation area of the programm.
I found a manual how to import the database and how to apply it: https://www.openlca.org/wp-content/uplo ... il2015.pdf
But it doesn't work. The flows were imported and I could even create a process. But I couldn't choose any provider. In the product system no model graph is built. The quick results methods shows no impact categories and the LCIA method "oekobaudat" is not imported.
In a second step I tried to import the oekobau.dat as an independant database, by using "create new database". It worked and the LCIA method is also impored.
BUT: I can' t create a process. There are always "unexpeced errors" and the database is always asking for an update. Trying to run the update there are again "unexpected errors".
I have now 3 questions:
1) How do you import the database oekobaudat?
2) How do you use it afterwards, compared to GaBi? (selecting a provider...)?
3) How cant I mix the information comming from GaBi and the one comming from oekobau.dat? means: can I calculate a mixed system in case one database does not include all the needed input?
