A problem has occurred with our mining and import processes. Previously, these processes worked fine, but they are now both consuming and producing energy commodities. Because of this feature, we are not able to produce/ import any commodity to the model. The model just uses dummy commodities.
Have anyone else experienced this? How can it be solved? Please see attached pictures for more details.
If I understand correctly, you get different results between:
1) Starting from scratch, and running the model; and
2) After that, re-importing trade-scenario-files, and running the model again.
Is that correct? If so, then I think the model input DD files for some reason must be different between 1) and 2), which I think is indeed strange. By comparing the Data_only GDX files between 1) and 2) you should be able to see what is different (using the gdxdiff utility). Let us know if you find out the crucial differences.
Yes, I think you describe it correct, with exception form that I am not running the model. I am using the "process master" to look at the processes.
1. Have problem with IMP*,MIN*, EXP* both having input and outputs (which I identify in the looking at the processes in the "Process Master")
2. I start from scratch re-importing parts by parts (1)BY-files, 2)SubRES files: The IMP*,MIN*, EXP* have either input our output (works fine)
3. I continue to import scenario files (some at a time): The IMP*,MIN*, EXP* have either input our output (works fine)
4. After import "ScenTrade__Trade_Links" and "ScenTrade_TRADE_PARAM": IMP*,MIN*, EXP* both having input and outputs
I am not so familiar with gdxdiff (where do I do this?)

Anna, can you please run your model before and after reimporting trade files, and see if you get different results?
This might simply be because after you reimport trade files, the external regions (MINRNW/IMPEXP) also get topology entries and they start showing up in process master. one way to check that will be to select any particular model region on the process master form.
