Unexpected Regions (MINRNW and IMPEXP) and Missing Attributes after Synchronization - IESR_Dhifan - 11-02-2026
Hi, I am relatively new to TIMES, so I apologize if this concerns a straightforward issue. However, I have encountered the following problem while working on my model. After synchronization, the Browse tab displays MINRNW and IMPEXP in addition to REG1 (which is the only region I specified in the SysSettings tab). Meanwhile, the Attributes tab only shows COM_PROJ and G_DYEAR. I have reviewed the BaseYear, SubRes, and SysSettings tabs to the best of my understanding, but I am still uncertain about the source of the issue. Previously, before I added several process technologies in an earlier version, the model functioned correctly. I have since deleted those process technologies - but the issue still persists. Please find the screenshot and my project folder attached for reference. Thank you. [attachment=192]

Looks like your questions are related to VEDA and not TIMES as such. Nonetheless, I had a quick look, and I confirm the strangeness of the situation: • In Browse, the Region panel shows REG1, MINRNW and IMPEXP, although the latter 2 are external regions usually not shown • No process data can be found, only COM_PROJ and G_DYEAR I can suggest trying to fix the issue by the following workaround action: Excel file: SysSettings.xlsx Worksheet: Region-Time Slices VEDA Tag: ~BookRegions_Map Column: BookName Action: REG → REG1 I suggest this action because the Name of the Book is VT_REG1_IND_V01.xlsx, and you are referring to REG1 inside that book as well. But possibly changing the filename of the Book to VT_REG_IND_V01.xlsx might work as well.

I apologize for posting this in the wrong thread, thanks for pointing that out. I followed your suggested workaround by modifying the relevant entry in SysSettings.xlsx, and the issue was perfectly resolved after selecting “Start from scratch.” Previously, I had changed the filename to REG; however, I may or may not have selected “Start from scratch” at that time. I recall that the change did not take effect as expected. Thank you again for taking the time to review my files and for providing a very clear and effective solution!
