	svn up
31
	make inputs/download
32 10025 aaronmk
	make inputs/download live=1
33 8458 aaronmk
	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 9970 aaronmk
	Make sure there is at least 300GB of disk space on /: df -h
41 10603 aaronmk
		The import schema is 230GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
42 8458 aaronmk
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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

			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

		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

	Running individual steps separately:
137 9497 aaronmk
	To run TNRS:
138 9996 aaronmk
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
139 9995 aaronmk
		make scrub &
140 8458 aaronmk
		To view progress:
141
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql

	To remake analytical DB:
143 9996 aaronmk
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
144 11089 aaronmk
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")

		To view progress:
146 10600 aaronmk
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
147 8458 aaronmk
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
148 10578 aaronmk
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
149 10743 aaronmk
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
150 10577 aaronmk
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
151 10578 aaronmk
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
152
			$version with the appropriate revision
153 10744 aaronmk
		make backups/upload live=1
154 3381 aaronmk
155 1773 aaronmk
Datasource setup:
156 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
157 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
158 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
159
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
160
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
161
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
162 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
163 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
164 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
165
		For .sql exports:
166
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
167
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
168
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
169
			On vegbiendev:
170
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
171 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
172
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
173
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
174 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
175
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
176
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
177
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
178
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
179
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
180
	For MS Access databases:
181
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
182
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
183
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
184
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
185
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
186
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
187
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
188
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
189
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
190
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
191
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
192
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
193
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
194
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
195
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
196
			name must end in ".src"
197
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
198
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
199
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
200
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
201
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
202
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
203
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
204
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
205
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
206
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
207
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
208
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
209 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
210
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
211
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
212 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
213
			that depend on it
214 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
215
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
216
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
217 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
218
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
219
		For a MySQL .sql export:
220
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
221
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
222
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
223
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
224
			tail provides a header line with the filename
225
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
226
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
227
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
228
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
229
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
230
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
231
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
232
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
233
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
234
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
235
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
236
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
237
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
238
				Save
239
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
240
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
241
	Map each table's columns:
242
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
243
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
244
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
245
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
246
				left column of the core map
247
			Save
248
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
249
	Accept the test cases:
250 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
251
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
252
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
253
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
254
		For an old-style datasource:
255
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
256 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
257
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
258
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
259
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
260
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
261
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
262
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
263
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
264
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
265
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
266
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
267
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
268
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
269
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
270
	Update vegbiendev:
271
		On jupiter: svn up
272
		On local machine:
273
			./fix_perms
274
			make inputs/upload
275 10025 aaronmk
			make inputs/upload live=1
276 8458 aaronmk
		On vegbiendev:
277
			svn up
278
			make inputs/download
279 10025 aaronmk

280 8458 aaronmk
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
281 1773 aaronmk
282 10884 aaronmk
Maintenance:
283
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
284
--
285
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
286
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
287
umask ug=rwx,o=rx
288
289
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes

			svn ci -m 'mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki'
344
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
345
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
346
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
347
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
348
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
349
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
437
		To rename a table:
438
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
439
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
440
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
441
				Search for <new>
442
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
443
		To rename a column:
444
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
445
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
446
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
447
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
448
		Determine the poster size:
449
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
450
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
451
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
452
			Zoom in as far as possible
453
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
454
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
455
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
456
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
457
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
458
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
459
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
460
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
461
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
462
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
463
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
464
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
465
		Determine the cost:
466
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
467
				charges the following for posters:
468
				base: $7.25/sq ft
469
				lamination: $3/sq ft
470
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
473 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
474 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
475 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
476
	Mapping process: make test
477
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
478
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
479
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
480
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
481
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
482
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
483
			the appropriate null value to use.

			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
496
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
497
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
498
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
499
				redirects are permanent.
