		make test by_col=1
31
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
32
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
33
			See note under Testing below
34
	On vegbiendev:
35
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
36
	svn up
37
	make inputs/download
38
	make inputs/download live=1
39
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
40
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
41
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
42
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
43
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
44
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
45
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
46
	Make sure there is at least 300GB of disk space on /: df -h
47
		The import schema is 230GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
48
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
49
			List backups/ to view older backups
50
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
51
			Remove these backups

	unset version
57
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
58
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
59
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
60
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
61
			won't be owned by your shell.
62
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
63
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
64
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
65
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
66
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
67
		export version=<version>
68
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1 &
69
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
70
	Get $version: echo $version
71
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>

	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
73
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload live=1
74
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
75
	In PostgreSQL:
76
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
77
			inputs
78
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
79
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql

			On vegbiendev:
91
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
92
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
93
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
94

95
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
96
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
97
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
98
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
99
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
100
	Otherwise, continue
101
	Publish the new import:
102
		WARNING: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
103
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
104
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
105
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
106
	unset version
107
	make backups/upload live=1
108
	On jupiter:
109
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
110
		For each newly-archived backup:
111
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
112
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
113
	On nimoy:
114
		cd /home/bien/svn/
115
		svn up
116
		export version=<version>
117
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
118
		In the bien_web DB:
119
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
120
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
121
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
122
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
123
		table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
124
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
125
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
126
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
127
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
128
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
129
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
130
				now in the copied tab instead
131
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
132
		export version=<version>
133
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
134
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
135
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
136
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
137
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
138
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
139
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
140
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
141
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
142
	Running individual steps separately:
143
	To run TNRS:
144
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
145
		make scrub &
146
		To view progress:
147
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
148
	To remake analytical DB:
149
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
150
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
151
		To view progress:
152
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
153
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
154
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
155
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
156
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
157
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
158
			$version with the appropriate revision
159
		make backups/upload live=1
160

    
161
Datasource setup:
162
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
163
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
164
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
165
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
166
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
167
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
168
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
169
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
170
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
171
		For .sql exports:
172
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
173
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
174
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
175
			On vegbiendev:
176
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
177
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
178
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
179
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
180
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
181
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
182
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
183
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
184
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
185
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
186
	For MS Access databases:
187
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
188
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
189
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
190
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
191
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
192
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
193
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
194
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
195
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
196
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
197
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
198
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
199
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
200
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
201
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
202
			name must end in ".src"
203
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
204
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
205
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
206
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
207
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
208
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
209
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
210
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
211
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
212
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
213
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
214
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
215
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
216
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
217
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
218
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
219
			that depend on it
220
		For a new-style datasource:
221
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
222
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
223
	Install the staging tables:
224
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
225
		For a MySQL .sql export:
226
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
227
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
228
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
229
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
230
			tail provides a header line with the filename
231
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
232
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
233
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
234
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
235
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
236
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
237
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
238
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
239
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
240
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
241
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
242
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
243
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
244
				Save
245
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
246
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
247
	Map each table's columns:
248
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
249
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
250
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
251
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
252
				left column of the core map
253
			Save
254
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
255
	Accept the test cases:
256
		For a new-style datasource:
257
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
258
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
259
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
260
		For an old-style datasource:
261
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
262
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
263
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
264
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
265
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
266
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
267
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
268
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
269
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
270
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
271
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
272
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
273
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
274
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
275
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
276
	Update vegbiendev:
277
		On jupiter: svn up
278
		On local machine:
279
			./fix_perms
280
			make inputs/upload
281
			make inputs/upload live=1
282
		On vegbiendev:
283
			svn up
284
			make inputs/download
285
			make inputs/download live=1
286
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
287

292
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
293

			svn ci -m 'mappings/VegCore.htm: regenerated from wiki'
350
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
351
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
352
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
353
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
354
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
355
		Linux and Mac OS X.

		WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
398
	Reinstall staging tables:
399
		On local machine:
400
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'ALTER DATABASE vegbien RENAME TO vegbien_prev'
401
			make db
402
			. bin/reinstall_all
403
			Fix any bugs and retry until no errors
404
			make schemas/public/install
405
				This must be run *after* the datasources are installed, because
406
				views in public depend on some of the datasources
407
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'DROP DATABASE vegbien_prev'
408
		On vegbiendev: repeat the above steps
409
			WARNING: Do not run this until reinstall_all runs successfully on
410
			the local machine, or the live DB may be unrestorable!
411
	Sync ERD with vegbien.sql schema:
412
		Run make schemas/vegbien.my.sql
413
		Open schemas/vegbien.ERD.mwb in MySQLWorkbench
414
		Go to File > Export > Synchronize With SQL CREATE Script...
415

417
		In the changes list, select each table with an arrow next to it
418
		Click Update Model
419
		Click Continue
420
		Note: The generated SQL script will be empty because we are syncing in
421
			the opposite direction
422
		Click Execute
423
		Reposition any lines that have been reset
424
		Add any new tables by dragging them from the Catalog in the left sidebar
425
			to the diagram
426
		Remove any deleted tables by right-clicking the table's diagram element,
427
			selecting Delete '<table name>', and clicking Delete
428
		Save
429
		If desired, update the graphical ERD exports (see below)
430
	Update graphical ERD exports:
431
		Go to File > Export > Export as PNG...
432
		Select schemas/vegbien.ERD.png and click Save
433
		Go to File > Export > Export as SVG...
434
		Select schemas/vegbien.ERD.svg and click Save

442
	Refactoring tips:
443
		To rename a table:
444
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
445
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
446
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
447
				Search for <new>
448
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
449
		To rename a column:
450
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
451
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
452
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
453
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
454
		Determine the poster size:
455
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
456
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
457
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
458
			Zoom in as far as possible
459
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
460
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
461
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
462
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
463
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
464
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
465
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
466
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
467
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
468
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
469
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
470
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
471
		Determine the cost:
472
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
473
				charges the following for posters:
474
				base: $7.25/sq ft
475
				lamination: $3/sq ft
476
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
477

Testing:
479
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
480
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
481
		export log= n=2
482
	Mapping process: make test
483
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
484
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
485
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
486
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
487
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
488
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
489
			the appropriate null value to use.

Debugging:
495
	"Binary chop" debugging:
496
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
497
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
498
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
499
	.htaccess:
500
		mod_rewrite:
501
			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
502
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
503
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
504
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
505
				redirects are permanent.
506
				for Firefox:
507
					press Cmd+Shift+Delete
508
					check only Cache
509
					press Enter or click Clear Now
