	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
12
--
13
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
14
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.

64
		Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
65
			(https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
66
			is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
67
			make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
68
			svn di mappings/VegCore.tables.redmine
69
			If there are changes, update the data dictionary's Tables section
70
			When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
71
			svn ci -m 'mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki'
72
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
73
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
74
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
75
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
76
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
77
		Linux and Mac OS X.

Single datasource import:
80
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
81
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1 &
82
	(Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1 &
83
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
84

    
85
Full database import:
86
	WARNING: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
87
		breaking column-based import
88
	On jupiter: svn up --force
89
	On local machine:
90
		do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
91
			your local machine" above
92
		make inputs/upload
93
		make inputs/upload live=1
94
		make test by_col=1
95
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
96
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
97
			See note under Testing below
98
	On vegbiendev:
99
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
100
	svn up
101
	make inputs/download
102
	make inputs/download live=1
103
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
104
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
105
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
106
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
107
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
108
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
109
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
110
	Make sure there is at least 300GB of disk space on /: df -h
111
		The import schema is 230GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
112
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
113
			List backups/ to view older backups
114
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
115
			Remove these backups
116
	Remove any leftover TNRS lockfile: rm inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/tnrs.make.lock
117
		Usually, the PID in it would not exist, but sometimes it now refers to
118
			a different, active process which blocks tnrs.make
119
	screen
120
	Press ENTER
121
	set -o ignoreeof #prevent Ctrl+D from exiting `screen` to keep attached jobs
122
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
123
	unset version
124
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
125
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
126
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
127
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
128
			won't be owned by your shell.
129
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
130
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
131
	Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
132
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
133
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
134
		export version=<version>
135
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1 &
136
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
137
	Get $version: echo $version
138
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
139
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
140
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload live=1
141
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
142
	In PostgreSQL:
143
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
144
			inputs
145
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
146
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
147
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
148
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
149
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
150
			On local machine:
151
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
152
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
153
				make schemas/remake
154
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
155
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
156
				Commit
157
			On vegbiendev:
158
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
159
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
160
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
161
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
162
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
163
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
164
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
165
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
166
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
167
	Otherwise, continue
168
	Publish the new import:
169
		WARNING: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
170
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
171
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
172
		make schemas/$version/publish
173
	unset version
174
	backups/fix_perms
175
	make backups/upload live=1
176
	On jupiter:
177
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
178
		For each newly-archived backup:
179
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
180
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
181
	On nimoy:
182
		cd /home/bien/svn/
183
		svn up
184
		export version=<version>
185
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
186
		In the bien_web DB:
187
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
188
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
189
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
190
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
191
		table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
192
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
193
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
194
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
195
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
196
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
197
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
198
				now in the copied tab instead
199
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
200
		export version=<version>
201
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
202
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
203
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
204
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
205
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
206
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
207
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
208
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
209
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
210
	To run TNRS:
211
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
212
		make scrub &
213
		To view progress:
214
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
215
	To remake analytical DB:
216
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
217
		bin/make_analytical_db &
218
		To view progress:
219
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
220
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
221
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
222
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
223
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
224
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
225
			$version with the appropriate revision
226
		make backups/upload live=1

228
Backups:
229
	Archived imports:
230
		Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
231
			Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
232
				make schemas/rotate
233
		Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
234
		Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
235
		Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
236
		Download: make backups/<version>.backup/download
237
	TNRS cache:
238
		Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
239
			runtime: 3 min ("real 2m48.859s")
240
		Restore:
241
			yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall

			make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
243
				runtime: 5.5 min ("real 5m35.829s")
244
			yes|make schemas/public/reinstall

248
		Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
249
		Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
250
		Download: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/download
251
	Import logs:
252
		Download: make inputs/download-logs live=1
253

    
254
Datasource setup:
255
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
256
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
257
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
258
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
259
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
260
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
261
		For .sql exports:
262
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
263
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
264
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
265
			On vegbiendev:
266
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
267
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
268
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
269
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
270
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
271
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
272
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
273
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
274
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
275
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
276
	For MS Access databases:
277
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
278
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
279
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
280
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
281
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
282
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
283
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
284
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
285
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
286
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
287
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
288
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
289
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
290
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
291
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
292
			name must end in ".src"
293
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
294
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
295
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
296
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
297
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
298
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
299
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
300
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
301
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
302
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
303
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
304
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
305
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
306
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
307
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
308
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
309
			that depend on it
310
	Install the staging tables:
311
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
312
		For a MySQL .sql export:
313
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
314
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
315
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
316
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
317
			tail provides a header line with the filename
318
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
319
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
320
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
321
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
322
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
323
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
324
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
325
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
326
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
327
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
328
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
329
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
330
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
331
				Save
332
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
333
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
334
	Map each table's columns:
335
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
336
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
337
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
338
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
339
				left column of the core map
340
			Save
341
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
342
	Accept the test cases:
343
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
344
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
345
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
346
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
347
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
348
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
349
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
350
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
351
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
352
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
353
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
354
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
355
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
356
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
357
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
358
	Update vegbiendev:
359
		On jupiter: svn up
360
		On local machine:
361
			./fix_perms
362
			make inputs/upload
363
			make inputs/upload live=1
364
		On vegbiendev:
365
			svn up
366
			make inputs/download
367
			make inputs/download live=1
368
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
369

Datasource refreshing:
371
	VegBank:
372
		make inputs/VegBank/vegbank.sql-remake
373
		make inputs/VegBank/reinstall quiet=1 &
374

    
375
Schema changes:
376
	When changing the analytical views, run sync_analytical_..._to_view()
377
		to update the corresponding table
378
	Remember to update the following files with any renamings:
379
		schemas/filter_ERD.csv
380
		mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv
381
		mappings/verify.*.sql
382
	Regenerate schema from installed DB: make schemas/remake
383
	Reinstall DB from schema: make schemas/public/reinstall schemas/reinstall
384
		WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
385
	Reinstall staging tables:
386
		On local machine:
387
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'ALTER DATABASE vegbien RENAME TO vegbien_prev'
388
			make db
389
			. bin/reinstall_all
390
			Fix any bugs and retry until no errors
391
			make schemas/public/install
392
				This must be run *after* the datasources are installed, because
393
				views in public depend on some of the datasources
394
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'DROP DATABASE vegbien_prev'
395
		On vegbiendev: repeat the above steps
396
			WARNING: Do not run this until reinstall_all runs successfully on

	Refactoring tips:
430
		To rename a table:
431
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
432
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
433
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
434
				Search for <new>
435
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
436
		To rename a column:
437
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
438
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
439
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
440
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
441
		Determine the poster size:
442
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
443
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
444
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
445
			Zoom in as far as possible
446
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
447
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
448
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
449
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
450
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
451
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
452
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
453
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
454
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
455
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
456
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
457
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
458
		Determine the cost:
459
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
460
				charges the following for posters:
461
				base: $7.25/sq ft
462
				lamination: $3/sq ft
463
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
464

    
465
Testing:
466
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
467
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
468
		export log= n=2
469
	Mapping process: make test
470
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
471
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
472
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
473
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
474
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
475
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
476
			the appropriate null value to use.
477
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
478
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
479
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

481
Debugging:
482
	"Binary chop" debugging:
483
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
484
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
485
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
486
	.htaccess:
487
		mod_rewrite:
488
			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
489
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
490
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
491
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
492
				redirects are permanent.
493
				for Firefox:
494
					press Cmd+Shift+Delete
495
					check only Cache
496
					press Enter or click Clear Now
