Single datasource import:
11
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
12
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1 &
13
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported

Full database import:
16
	WARNING: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
17
		breaking column-based import
18
	On jupiter: svn up --force
19
	On local machine:
20
		do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
21
			your local machine" above
22
		make inputs/upload
23
		make inputs/upload live=1
24
		make test by_col=1
25
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
26
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
27
			See note under Testing below
28
	On vegbiendev:
29
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
30
	svn up
31
	make inputs/download
32
	make inputs/download live=1
33
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
34
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
35
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
36
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
37
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
38
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
39
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
40
	Make sure there is at least 300GB of disk space on /: df -h
41
		The import schema is 230GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
42
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
43
			List backups/ to view older backups
44
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
45
			Remove these backups

48
	set -o ignoreeof #prevent Ctrl+D from exiting `screen` to keep attached jobs
49
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
50
	unset version
51
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
52
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
53
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
54
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
55
			won't be owned by your shell.
56
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
57
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
58
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
59
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
60
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
61
		export version=<version>
62
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1 &
63
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
64
	Get $version: echo $version
65
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
66
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
67
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload live=1
68
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
69
	In PostgreSQL:
70
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
71
			inputs
72
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
73
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
74
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
75
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":

			On vegbiendev:
85
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
86
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
87
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
88

	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
90
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
91
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
92
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
93
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
94
	Otherwise, continue
95
	Publish the new import:
96
		WARNING: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
97
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
98
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
99
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
100
	unset version
101
	make backups/upload live=1
102
	On jupiter:
103
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
104
		For each newly-archived backup:
105
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
106
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
107
	On nimoy:
108
		cd /home/bien/svn/
109
		svn up
110
		export version=<version>
111
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
112
		In the bien_web DB:
113
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
114
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
115
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
116
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
117
		table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
118
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
119
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
120
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
121
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
122
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
123
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
124
				now in the copied tab instead
125
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
126
		export version=<version>
127
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
128
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
129
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
130
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
131
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
132
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
133
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
134
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
135
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
136
	Running individual steps separately:
137
	To run TNRS:
138
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
139
		make scrub &
140
		To view progress:
141
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
142
	To remake analytical DB:
143
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
144
		bin/make_analytical_db &
145
		To view progress:
146
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
147
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
148
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
149
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
150
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
151
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
152
			$version with the appropriate revision
153
		make backups/upload live=1
154

    
155
Datasource setup:
156
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
157
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
158
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
159
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
160
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
161
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
162
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
163
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
164
		For .sql exports:
165
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
166
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
167
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
168
			On vegbiendev:
169
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
170
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
171
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
172
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
173
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
174
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
175
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
176
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
177
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
178
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
179
	For MS Access databases:
180
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
181
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
182
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
183
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
184
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
185
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
186
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
187
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
188
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
189
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
190
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
191
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
192
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
193
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
194
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
195
			name must end in ".src"
196
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
197
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
198
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
199
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
200
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
201
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
202
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
203
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
204
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
205
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
206
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
207
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
208
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
209
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
210
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
211
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
212
			that depend on it
213
		For a new-style datasource:
214
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
215
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
216
	Install the staging tables:
217
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
218
		For a MySQL .sql export:
219
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
220
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
221
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
222
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
223
			tail provides a header line with the filename
224
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
225
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
226
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
227
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
228
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
229
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
230
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
231
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
232
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
233
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
234
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
235
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
236
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
237
				Save
238
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
239
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
240
	Map each table's columns:
241
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
242
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
243
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
244
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
245
				left column of the core map
246
			Save
247
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
248
	Accept the test cases:
249
		For a new-style datasource:
250
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
251
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
252
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
253
		For an old-style datasource:
254
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
255
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
256
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
257
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
258
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
259
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
260
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
261
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
262
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
263
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
264
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
265
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
266
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
267
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
268
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
269
	Update vegbiendev:
270
		On jupiter: svn up
271
		On local machine:
272
			./fix_perms
273
			make inputs/upload
274
			make inputs/upload live=1
275
		On vegbiendev:
276
			svn up
277
			make inputs/download
278
			make inputs/download live=1
279
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
280

285
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
286

341
			When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
342
			svn ci -m 'mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki'
343
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
344
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
345
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
346
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
347
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
348
		Linux and Mac OS X.

418
			to the diagram
419
		Remove any deleted tables by right-clicking the table's diagram element,
420
			selecting Delete '<table name>', and clicking Delete
421
		Save
422
		If desired, update the graphical ERD exports (see below)
423
	Update graphical ERD exports:
424

435
	Refactoring tips:
436
		To rename a table:
437
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
438
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
439
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
440
				Search for <new>
441
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
442
		To rename a column:
443
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
444
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
445
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
446
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
447
		Determine the poster size:
448
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
449
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
450
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
451
			Zoom in as far as possible
452
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
453
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
454
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
455
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
456
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
457
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
458
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
459
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
460
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
461
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
462
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
463
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
464
		Determine the cost:
465
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
466
				charges the following for posters:
467
				base: $7.25/sq ft
468
				lamination: $3/sq ft
469
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
472
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
473
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
474
		export log= n=2
475
	Mapping process: make test
476
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
477
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
478
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
479
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
480
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
481
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
482
			the appropriate null value to use.
483
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
484
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
485
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

Debugging:
488
	"Binary chop" debugging:
489
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
490
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
491
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
492
	.htaccess:
493
		mod_rewrite:
494
			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
495
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
496
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
497
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
498
				redirects are permanent.
499
				for Firefox:
500
					press Cmd+Shift+Delete
501
					check only Cache
502
					press Enter or click Clear Now
