14 12011 aaronmk
Notes on running programs:
15
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
16
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
17
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
18
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
19
20 11967 aaronmk
Notes on editing files:
21
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
22
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
23
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)

			See note under Testing below
46 12396 aaronmk
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk

49 8458 aaronmk
	make inputs/download
50 10025 aaronmk
	make inputs/download live=1
51 8458 aaronmk
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
52
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
53 12226 aaronmk
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
54 8458 aaronmk
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
55
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
56
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
57
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
58
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
59 13009 aaronmk
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
60 13010 aaronmk
	Make sure there is at least 500GB of disk space on /: df -h
61
		The import schema is 315GB, and may use significant additional space for
62
			temp tables
63 8458 aaronmk
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
64
			List backups/ to view older backups
65
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
66
			Remove these backups
67 13009 aaronmk
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
68 13007 aaronmk
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
69
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
70
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
71
		svn info
72
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
73
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
74 13009 aaronmk
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
75
	screen
76
	Press ENTER
77
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
78
	set -o ignoreeof #prevent Ctrl+D from exiting `screen` to keep attached jobs
79 10579 aaronmk
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
80
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
81 8458 aaronmk
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
82 12226 aaronmk
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
83
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
84 8458 aaronmk
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
85
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
86 12026 aaronmk
		To view progress:
87
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
88 10850 aaronmk
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
89 8458 aaronmk
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
90 10583 aaronmk
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
91
		export version=<version>
92 11800 aaronmk
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
93 10588 aaronmk
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
94 8458 aaronmk
	Get $version: echo $version
95
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
96 10557 aaronmk
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
97 12396 aaronmk
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
98
		Upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
99 10025 aaronmk
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
100 8458 aaronmk
	In PostgreSQL:
101 11568 aaronmk
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
102 11728 aaronmk
		Get the # observations
103
		Get the # datasources
104
		Get the # datasources with observations
105 11892 aaronmk
		in the r# schema:
106 11569 aaronmk
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
107 12148 aaronmk
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
108
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
109
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
110
			end depending on import order).
111 11568 aaronmk
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
112
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
113 9492 aaronmk
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
114
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
115
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
116
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
117
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
118
			On local machine:
119 10784 aaronmk
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
120
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
121 9492 aaronmk

			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
126 9492 aaronmk
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
127
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
128
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
129

	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
131
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
132
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
133
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
134
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
135
	Otherwise, continue
136 9498 aaronmk
	Publish the new import:
137 12226 aaronmk
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
138 9498 aaronmk
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
139
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
140 10864 aaronmk
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
141 8458 aaronmk
	unset version
142 10027 aaronmk
	make backups/upload live=1

145
			# download backup to local machine
146 12396 aaronmk
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
147 8458 aaronmk
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
148
		For each newly-archived backup:
149
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
150
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
151
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
152 11573 aaronmk
		On local machine:
153 8458 aaronmk
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
154
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
155
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
156
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
157
				now in the copied tab instead
158
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
159
		export version=<version>
160
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
161
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
162
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
163
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
164
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
165
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
166
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
167
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
168 11573 aaronmk

	Running individual steps separately:
170 9497 aaronmk
	To run TNRS:
171 9996 aaronmk
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
172 9995 aaronmk
		make scrub &
173 8458 aaronmk
		To view progress:

Datasource setup:
189 11516 aaronmk
	On local machine:
190 11090 aaronmk
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
191 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
192 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
193
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
194
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
195
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
196 11018 aaronmk
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
197 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
198 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
199
		For .sql exports:
200
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
201
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
202
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
203 12396 aaronmk
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
204 8458 aaronmk
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
205 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
206
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
207
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
208 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
209
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
210
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
211
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
212
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
213
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
214
	For MS Access databases:
215
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
216
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
217
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
218
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
219
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
220
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
221
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
222
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
223
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
224
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
225
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
226
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
227
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
228
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
229
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
230
			name must end in ".src"
231
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
232
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
233
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
234
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
235
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
236
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
237
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
238
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
239
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
240
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
241
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
242
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
243 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
244
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
245
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
246 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
247
			that depend on it
248 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
249
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
250
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
251 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
252
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
253
		For a MySQL .sql export:
254
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
255
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
256
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
257
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
258
			tail provides a header line with the filename
259
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
260
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
261
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
262
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
263
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
264
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
265
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
266
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
267
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
268
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
269
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
270
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
271
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
272
				Save
273
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
274
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
275
	Map each table's columns:
276
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
277
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
278
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
279
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
280
				left column of the core map
281
			Save
282
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
283
	Accept the test cases:
284 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
285
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
286
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
287
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
288
		For an old-style datasource:
289
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
290 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
291
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
292
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
293
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
294
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
295
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
296
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
297
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
298
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
299
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
300
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
301
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
302
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
303
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
304
	Update vegbiendev:

421
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
422
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
423
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
424
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
526
		To rename a table:
527
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
528
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
529
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
530
				Search for <new>
531
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
532
		To rename a column:
533
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
534
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
535
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
536
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
537
		Determine the poster size:
538
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
539
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
540
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
541
			Zoom in as far as possible
542
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
543
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
544
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
545
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
546
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
547
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
548
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
549
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
550
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
551
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
552
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
553
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
554
		Determine the cost:
555
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
556
				charges the following for posters:
557
				base: $7.25/sq ft
558
				lamination: $3/sq ft
559
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

	Mapping process: make test
568
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
569
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
570
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
571
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
572
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
573
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
574
			the appropriate null value to use.
