TOP_IRE entries not generated for processes defined as IRE in ~FI_Process table #28

Closed olejandro closed 5 months ago

olejandro commented 6 months ago

It seems that TOP_IRE entries are not generated for processes if they are defined as IRE in an ~FI_Process table. The absence of the relevant entries leads to the processes not being recognised as trade processes by TIMES.

At the same time, PRC_MAP does include the relevant entries.

Antti-L commented 6 months ago

Some background info: Olex was not able to make a UC constraint based on UC_IRE working, and approached me for an explanation. I found out that the process referred to in UC_IRE was not a trade process (even though it was defined to be of type IRE), which explained the problem.

I think that VEDA should either recognize IRE as a way of defining the process as a trade process (I guess it should be like IMP+EXP), or reject it and issue an error. Letting it just through without actually making the process as a trade process is a source of inconsistency and may potentially cause notable confusion. I am now adding a TIMES QA_Check for it as well, but I think it would be good to catch under VEDA.

@Antti-L, we can add TOP_IRE entries if we assume IMPEXP as the exogenous region. Would that be OK?

Antti-L commented 5 months ago

Yes, sure that would be ok, just like with IMP+EXP. Then this TIMES process type would be more completely supported by VEDA (the IMP and EXP types are not even known by TIMES).

akanudia commented 5 months ago

Done; will be available in the next update.

available in version 3.0.4

available in version 3.0.4

Was that premature? I see Revert "3.0.4.0 released" in the Localhost folder, and the package available there is v3.0.2, i.e. even v3.0.3 seems to have disappeared. :crying_cat_face:

olejandro commented 5 months ago

Seems that both have been reverted: https://github.com/kanors-emr/Veda2.0-Installation/commits/master/

Sincere apologies for the confusion. The FI_T tag QC enhancement had forced us to change some core data processing that needed more thorough testing than we did before releasing version 3.0.3. We should be able to release 3.0.5 later today, but it could also take another day.

At this time, 3.0.2 is the last stable version.

akanudia commented 5 months ago

Version 3.0.5 has been released.
