Frequently Asked Questions

 

Q1: Do I need to uninstall the older version of the IPCC Inventory Software before I install the upgraded one? How can I ensure a proper data transition to the new version?

A: You can run the upgraded version without having to uninstall the older one.

In order not to lose your data, any unforeseeable should occur, please implement the following steps:

 

  • Before upgrading, make sure to backup your database as mdb/accdb file (go to Database>Save as), and also archive a copy of it;

  • Upgrade the software;

  • Open your backed-up version of the database in the upgraded software (go to Database>Open database);

  • After opening database, the following message will appear: "Your database will be upgraded. It is strongly recommended to make a backup of the original database. Would you like to backup now?". Then please select "Yes" (backup of original database may be useful for archiving purpose, e.g. in case its copy does not exist).

 

Please note if you have installed version 2.82 or any earlier versions, installing the new version does not automatically remove the previous version and therefore you shall do it manually. While if you have installed version 2.83 or any newer, installing the new version automatically removes the previous version.

 

Q2: What is the purpose of data import/export in XML format? Could XML data be imported from different versions of the IPCC Inventory Software and for the time series?
A: XML import/export of data is a fundamental functionality of the software needed for GHG Inventory compilation (e.g. inventory coordinator compiles data by importing relevant XML files received from sectoral experts). The import/export of XML data can be performed only within the same software version (e.g. export from v.2.54 to v.2.691, and vice versa, is not allowed). Current functionality allows import/export of data only for the single inventory year (future plans are to have time series XML export/import function).
