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 -u aaronmk -i
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 -u aaronmk -i
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 -u aaronmk -i
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; then next day w/ 2 datasources
88
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
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 n # on local machine, clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
94
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
95
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
96
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
97
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
98
		svn info
99
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
100
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
101
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
102
	screen
103
	Press ENTER
104
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
105
	set -o ignoreeof #prevent Ctrl+D from exiting `screen` to keep attached jobs
106
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
107
		declare -ax inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/)
108
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
109
		export version=custom_import_name
110
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
111
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
112
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
113
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
114
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
115
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
116
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
117
		To view progress:
118
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
119
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
120
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
121
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
122
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
123
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
124
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
125
		export version=<version>
126
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
127
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
128
	Get $version: echo $version
129
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
130
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
131
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
132
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
133
	check for disk space errors:
134
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
135
		if there are any matches:
136
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
137
				Single datasource import
138
			bin/after_import &
139
			wait for the import to finish
140
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
141
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
142
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
143
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
144
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
145
	Otherwise, continue
146
	In PostgreSQL:
147
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
148
		Get the # observations
149
		Get the # datasources
150
		Get the # datasources with observations
151
		in the r# schema:
152
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
153
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
154
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
155
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
156
			end depending on import order).
157
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
158
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
159
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
160
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
161
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
162
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
163
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
164
			On local machine:
165
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
166
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
167
				make schemas/remake
168
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
169
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
170
				Commit
171
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
172
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
173
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
174
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
175
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
176
	Publish the new import:
177
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
178
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
179
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
180
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
181
	unset version
182
	make backups/upload live=1
183
	on local machine:
184
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
185
			# download backup to local machine
186
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
187
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
188
		For each newly-archived backup:
189
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
190
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
191
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
192
		On local machine:
193
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
194
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
195
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
196
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
197
				now in the copied tab instead
198
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
199
		export version=<version>
200
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
201
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
202
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
203
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
204
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
205
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
206
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
207
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
208
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
209
	Running individual steps separately:
210
	To run TNRS:
211
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
212
		make scrub &
213
		To view progress:
214
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
215
	To remake analytical DB:
216
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
217
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
218
		To view progress:
219
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
220
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
221
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
222
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
223
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
224
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
225
			$version with the appropriate revision
226
		make backups/upload live=1
227

    
228
Datasource setup:
229
	On local machine:
230
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
231
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
232
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
233
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
234
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
235
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
236
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
237
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
238
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
239
		For .sql exports:
240
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
241
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
242
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
243
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
244
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
245
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
246
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
247
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
248
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
249
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
250
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
251
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
252
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
253
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
254
	For MS Access databases:
255
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
256
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
257
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
258
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
259
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
260
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
261
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
262
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
263
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
264
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
265
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
266
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
267
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
268
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
269
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
270
			name must end in ".src"
271
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
272
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
273
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
274
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
275
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
276
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
277
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
278
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
279
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
280
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
281
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
282
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
283
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
284
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
285
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
286
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
287
			that depend on it
288
		For a new-style datasource:
289
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
290
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
291
	Install the staging tables:
292
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
293
		For a MySQL .sql export:
294
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
295
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
296
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
297
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
298
			tail provides a header line with the filename
299
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
300
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
301
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
302
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
303
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
304
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
305
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
306
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
307
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
308
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
309
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
310
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
311
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
312
				Save
313
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
314
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
315
	Map each table's columns:
316
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
317
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
318
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
319
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
320
				left column of the core map
321
			Save
322
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
323
	Accept the test cases:
324
		For a new-style datasource:
325
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
326
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
327
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
328
		For an old-style datasource:
329
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
330
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
331
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
332
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
333
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
334
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
335
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
336
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
337
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
338
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
339
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
340
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
341
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
342
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
343
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
344
	Update vegbiendev:
345
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
346
			up
347
		On local machine:
348
			./fix_perms
349
			make inputs/upload
350
			make inputs/upload live=1
351
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
352
			up
353
			make inputs/download
354
			make inputs/download live=1
355
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
356

    
357
Maintenance:
358
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
359
--
360
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
361
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
362
umask ug=rwx,o=rx
363

    
364
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
365
--
366
	if http://vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu/phppgadmin/ goes down:
367
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
368
			make phppgadmin-Linux
369
	regularly, re-run full-database import so that bugs in it don't pile up.
370
		it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.
371
	to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and your local machine:

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
466
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
467
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
468
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
469
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
470
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
572
		To rename a table:
573
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
574
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
575
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
576
				Search for <new>
577
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
578
		To rename a column:
579
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
580
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
581
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
582
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
583
		Determine the poster size:
584
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
585
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
586
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
587
			Zoom in as far as possible
588
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
589
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
590
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
591
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
592
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
593
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
594
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
595
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
596
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
597
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
598
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
599
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
600
		Determine the cost:
601
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
602
				charges the following for posters:
603
				base: $7.25/sq ft
604
				lamination: $3/sq ft
605
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
608
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
609
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
610
		export log= n=2
611
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
612
	On local machine:
613
	Mapping process: make test
614
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
615
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
616
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
617
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
618
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
619
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
620
			the appropriate null value to use.
