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 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
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
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
	unset n # on local machine, clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
107
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
108
		declare -ax inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/)
109
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
110
		export version=custom_import_name
111
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
112
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
113
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
114
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
115
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
116
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
117
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
118
		To view progress:
119
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
120
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
121
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
122
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
123
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
124
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
125
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
126
		export version=<version>
127
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
128
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
129
	Get $version: echo $version
130
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
131
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
132
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
133
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
134
	check for disk space errors:
135
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
136
		if there are any matches:
137
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
138
				Single datasource import
139
			bin/after_import &
140
			wait for the import to finish
141
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
142
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
143
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
144
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
145
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
146
	Otherwise, continue
147
	In PostgreSQL:
148
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
149
		Get the # observations
150
		Get the # datasources
151
		Get the # datasources with observations
152
		in the r# schema:
153
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
154
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
155
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
156
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
157
			end depending on import order).
158
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
159
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
160
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
161
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
162
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
163
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
164
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
165
			On local machine:
166
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
167
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
168
				make schemas/remake
169
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
170
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
171
				Commit
172
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
173
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
174
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
175
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
176
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
177
	Publish the new import:
178
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
179
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
180
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
181
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
182
	unset version
183
	make backups/upload live=1
184
	on local machine:
185
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
186
			# download backup to local machine
187
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
188
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
189
		For each newly-archived backup:
190
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
191
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
192
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
193
		On local machine:
194
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
195
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
196
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
197
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
198
				now in the copied tab instead
199
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
200
		export version=<version>
201
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
202
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
203
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
204
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
205
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
206
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
207
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
208
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
209
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
210
	Running individual steps separately:
211
	To run TNRS:
212
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
213
		make scrub &
214
		To view progress:
215
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
216
	To remake analytical DB:
217
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
218
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
219
		To view progress:
220
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
221
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
222
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
223
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
224
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
225
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
226
			$version with the appropriate revision
227
		make backups/upload live=1
228

    
229
Datasource setup:
230
	On local machine:
231
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
232
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
233
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
234
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
235
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
236
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
237
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
238
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
239
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
240
		For .sql exports:
241
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
242
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
243
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
244
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
245
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
246
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
247
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
248
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
249
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
250
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
251
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
252
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
253
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
254
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
255
	For MS Access databases:
256
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
257
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
258
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
259
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
260
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
261
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
262
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
263
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
264
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
265
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
266
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
267
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
268
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
269
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
270
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
271
			name must end in ".src"
272
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
273
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
274
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
275
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
276
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
277
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
278
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
279
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
280
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
281
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
282
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
283
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
284
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
285
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
286
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
287
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
288
			that depend on it
289
		For a new-style datasource:
290
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
291
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
292
	Install the staging tables:
293
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
294
		For a MySQL .sql export:
295
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
296
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
297
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
298
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
299
			tail provides a header line with the filename
300
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
301
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
302
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
303
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
304
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
305
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
306
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
307
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
308
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
309
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
310
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
311
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
312
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
313
				Save
314
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
315
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
316
	Map each table's columns:
317
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
318
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
319
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
320
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
321
				left column of the core map
322
			Save
323
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
324
	Accept the test cases:
325
		For a new-style datasource:
326
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
327
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
328
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
329
		For an old-style datasource:
330
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
331
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
332
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
333
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
334
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
335
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
336
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
337
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
338
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
339
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
340
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
341
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
342
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
343
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
344
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
345
	Update vegbiendev:
346
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
347
			up
348
		On local machine:
349
			./fix_perms
350
			make inputs/upload
351
			make inputs/upload live=1
352
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
353
			up
354
			make inputs/download
355
			make inputs/download live=1
356
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
357

    
358
Maintenance:
359
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
360
--
361
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
362
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
363
umask ug=rwx,o=rx
364

    
365
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
366
--
367
	if http://vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu/phppgadmin/ goes down:
368
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
369
			make phppgadmin-Linux
370
	regularly, re-run full-database import so that bugs in it don't pile up.
371
		it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.
372
	to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and your local machine:
373
		**WARNING**: pay careful attention to all files that will be deleted or

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
467
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
468
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
469
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
470
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
471
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
573
		To rename a table:
574
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
575
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
576
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
577
				Search for <new>
578
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
579
		To rename a column:
580
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
581
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
582
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
583
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
584
		Determine the poster size:
585
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
586
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
587
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
588
			Zoom in as far as possible
589
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
590
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
591
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
592
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
593
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
594
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
595
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
596
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
597
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
598
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
599
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
600
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
601
		Determine the cost:
602
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
603
				charges the following for posters:
604
				base: $7.25/sq ft
605
				lamination: $3/sq ft
606
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
607

Testing:
609
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
610
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
611
		export log= n=2
612
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
613
	On local machine:
614
	Mapping process: make test
615
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
616
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
617
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
618
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
619
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
620
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
621
			the appropriate null value to use.
