Installation:
2
	Check out svn: svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien
3
	cd bien/
4
	Install: make install
5
		**WARNING**: This will delete the public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
6
	Uninstall: make uninstall
7
		**WARNING**: This will delete your entire VegBIEN DB!
8
		This includes all archived imports and staging tables.
9

    
10
Connecting to vegbiendev:
11
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
12
	cd /home/bien/svn # should happen automatically at login
13

    
14
Notes on system stability:
15
	**WARNING**: system upgrades can break key parts of the full-database
16
		import, causing errors such as disk space overruns. for this reason, it
17
		is recommended to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the
18
		last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks
19
		anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled
20
		completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the
21
		snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking
22
		interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being
23
		written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)
24

    
25
Notes on running programs:
26
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
27
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
28
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
29
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
30

    
31
Notes on editing files:
32
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
33
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
34
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
35

    
36
Single datasource import:
37
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
38
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
39
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1 &
40
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
41
	Remake analytical DB: see Full database import > To remake analytical DB
42

    
43
Full database import:
44
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
45
		breaking column-based import
46
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
47
		"Notes on running programs"
48
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
49
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
50
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
51
		the import using all the available cores.
52
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
53
		your local machine"
54
	On local machine:
55
		make inputs/upload
56
		make inputs/upload live=1
57
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 20 min ("4m46.108s" + ("21:50:43" - "21:37:09")) @starscream
58
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
59
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
60
			See note under Testing below
61
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
62
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
63
	up
64
	make inputs/download
65
	make inputs/download live=1
66
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
67
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
68
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
69
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
70
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
71
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
72
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
73
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
74
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
75
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
76
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
77
		make postgres_restart
78
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
79
		**WARNING**: sometimes, this amount of available space is insufficient
80
			and the entire disk space gets used up, crashing the import. if this
81
			occurs, the problem will often be fixed just by rerunning the import
82
			again. (the high-water mark varies by import.)
83
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
84
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
85
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
86
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
87
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32, entire disk for 4 min
88
			@05:35:44 w/ only a few datasources running).
89
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
90
			List backups/ to view older backups
91
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
92
			Remove these backups
93
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
94
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
95
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
96
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
97
		svn info
98
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
99
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
100
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
101
	screen
102
	Press ENTER
103
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
104
	set -o ignoreeof #prevent Ctrl+D from exiting `screen` to keep attached jobs
105
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
106
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
107
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
108
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
109
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
110
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
111
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
112
		To view progress:
113
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
114
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
115
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
116
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
117
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
118
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
119
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
120
		export version=<version>
121
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
122
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
123
	Get $version: echo $version
124
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
125
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
126
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
127
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
128
	In PostgreSQL:
129
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
130
		Get the # observations
131
		Get the # datasources
132
		Get the # datasources with observations
133
		in the r# schema:
134
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
135
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
136
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
137
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
138
			end depending on import order).
139
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
140
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
141
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
142
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
143
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
144
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
145
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
146
			On local machine:
147
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
148
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
149
				make schemas/remake
150
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
151
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
152
				Commit
153
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
154
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
155
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
156
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
157
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
158
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
159
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
160
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
161
	if the errors are due to exceeding available disk space:
162
		manually reimport the applicable datasources using the steps under
163
			Single datasource import
164
		bin/after_import &
165
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
166
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
167
	Otherwise, continue
168
	Publish the new import:
169
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
170
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
171
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
172
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
173
	unset version
174
	make backups/upload live=1
175
	on local machine:
176
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
177
			# download backup to local machine
178
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
179
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
180
		For each newly-archived backup:
181
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
182
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
183
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
184
		On local machine:
185
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
186
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
187
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
188
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
189
				now in the copied tab instead
190
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
191
		export version=<version>
192
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
193
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
194
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
195
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
196
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
197
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
198
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
199
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
200
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
201
	Running individual steps separately:
202
	To run TNRS:
203
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
204
		make scrub &
205
		To view progress:
206
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
207
	To remake analytical DB:
208
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
209
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
210
		To view progress:
211
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
212
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
213
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
214
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
215
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
216
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
217
			$version with the appropriate revision
218
		make backups/upload live=1
219

    
220
Datasource setup:
221
	On local machine:
222
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
223
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
224
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
225
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
226
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
227
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
228
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
229
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
230
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
231
		For .sql exports:
232
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
233
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
234
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
235
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
236
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
237
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
238
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
239
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
240
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
241
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
242
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
243
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
244
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
245
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
246
	For MS Access databases:
247
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
248
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
249
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
250
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
251
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
252
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
253
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
254
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
255
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
256
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
257
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
258
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
259
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
260
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
261
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
262
			name must end in ".src"
263
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
264
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
265
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
266
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
267
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
268
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
269
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
270
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
271
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
272
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
273
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
274
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
275
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
276
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
277
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
278
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
279
			that depend on it
280
		For a new-style datasource:
281
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
282
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
283
	Install the staging tables:
284
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
285
		For a MySQL .sql export:
286
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
287
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
288
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
289
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
290
			tail provides a header line with the filename
291
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
292
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
293
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
294
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
295
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
296
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
297
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
298
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
299
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
300
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
301
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
302
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
303
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
304
				Save
305
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
306
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
307
	Map each table's columns:
308
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
309
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
310
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
311
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
312
				left column of the core map
313
			Save
314
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
315
	Accept the test cases:
316
		For a new-style datasource:
317
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
318
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
319
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
320
		For an old-style datasource:
321
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
322
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
323
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
324
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
325
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
326
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
327
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
328
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
329
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
330
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
331
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
332
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
333
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
334
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
335
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
336
	Update vegbiendev:
337
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
338
			up
339
		On local machine:
340
			./fix_perms
341
			make inputs/upload
342
			make inputs/upload live=1
343
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo su - aaronmk
344
			up
345
			make inputs/download
346
			make inputs/download live=1
347
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
348

    
349
Maintenance:
350
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
351
--
352

353
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
354

453
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
454
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
455
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
456
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
457
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
458
		Linux and Mac OS X.

497
	On local machine:
498
	When changing the analytical views, run sync_analytical_..._to_view()
499
		to update the corresponding table
500
	Remember to update the following files with any renamings:
501
		schemas/filter_ERD.csv
502
		mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv
503
		mappings/verify.*.sql
504
	Regenerate schema from installed DB: make schemas/remake

			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'ALTER DATABASE vegbien RENAME TO vegbien_prev'
510
			make db
511
			. bin/reinstall_all
512
			Fix any bugs and retry until no errors
513
			make schemas/public/install

	Refactoring tips:
560
		To rename a table:
561
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
562
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
563
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
564
				Search for <new>
565
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
566
		To rename a column:
567
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
568
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
569
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
570
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
571
		Determine the poster size:
572
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
573
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
574
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
575
			Zoom in as far as possible
576
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
577
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
578
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
579
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
580
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
581
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
582
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
583
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
584
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
585
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
586
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
587
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
588
		Determine the cost:
589
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
590
				charges the following for posters:
591
				base: $7.25/sq ft
592
				lamination: $3/sq ft
593
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
594

Testing:
596
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
597
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
598
		export log= n=2
599
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
600
	On local machine:
601
	Mapping process: make test
602
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
603
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
604
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
605
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
606
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
607
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
608
			the appropriate null value to use.

				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
622
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
623
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
624
				redirects are permanent.
