	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
105
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
106
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
107
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
108

109
	Otherwise, continue
110 9498 aaronmk
	Publish the new import:
111
		WARNING: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
112

117 8458 aaronmk
	On jupiter:
118
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
119
		For each newly-archived backup:
120
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
121
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
122
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
123
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
124
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
125
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
126
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
127
				now in the copied tab instead
128
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
129
		export version=<version>
130
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
131
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
132
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
133
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
134
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
135
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
136
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
137
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql

	Running individual steps separately:
140 9497 aaronmk
	To run TNRS:
141 9996 aaronmk
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
142 9995 aaronmk

Datasource setup:
159 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
160 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
161 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
162 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
163
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
164
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
165
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
166 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
167 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
168 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
169
		For .sql exports:
170
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
171
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
172
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
173
			On vegbiendev:
174
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
175 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
176
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
177
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
178 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
179
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
180
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
181
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
182
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
183
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
184
	For MS Access databases:
185
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
186
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
187
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
188
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
189
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
190
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
191
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
192
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
193
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
194
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
195
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
196
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
197
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
198
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
199
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
200
			name must end in ".src"
201
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
202
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
203
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
204
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
205
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
206
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
207
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
208
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
209
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
210
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
211
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
212
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
213 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
214
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
215
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
216 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
217
			that depend on it
218 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
219
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
220
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
221 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
222
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
223
		For a MySQL .sql export:
224
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
225
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
226
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
227
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
228
			tail provides a header line with the filename
229
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
230
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
231
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
232
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
233
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
234
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
235
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
236
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
237
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
238
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
239
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
240
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
241
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
242
				Save
243
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
244
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
245
	Map each table's columns:
246
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
247
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
248
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
249
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
250
				left column of the core map
251
			Save
252
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
253
	Accept the test cases:
254 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
255
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
256
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
257
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
258
		For an old-style datasource:
259
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
260 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
261
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
262
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
263
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
264
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
265
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
266
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
267
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
268
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
269
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
270
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
271
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
272
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
273
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
274
	Update vegbiendev:
275
		On jupiter: svn up
276
		On local machine:
277
			./fix_perms
278
			make inputs/upload
279 10025 aaronmk

281
			svn up
282
			make inputs/download
283 10025 aaronmk

			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
285 1773 aaronmk
286 10884 aaronmk

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
352
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
353
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
354
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
355
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
356
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
450
		To rename a table:
451
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
452
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
453
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
454
				Search for <new>
455
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
456
		To rename a column:
457
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
458
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
459
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
460
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
461
		Determine the poster size:
462
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
463
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
464
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
465
			Zoom in as far as possible
466
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
467
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
468
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
469
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
470
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
471
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
472
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
473
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
474
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
475
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
476
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
477
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
478
		Determine the cost:
479
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
480
				charges the following for posters:
481
				base: $7.25/sq ft
482
				lamination: $3/sq ft
483
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
486 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
487 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
488 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
489 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
490 8458 aaronmk
	Mapping process: make test
491
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
492
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
493
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
494
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
495
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
496
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
497
			the appropriate null value to use.
