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.

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
	for full import:
94
		screen
95
		Press ENTER
96
	for small import, use above, or the following:
97
		$0 # nested shell to contain the env changes
98
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
99
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
100
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
101
	on local machine:
102
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
103
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
104
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
105
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
106
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
107
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
108
		svn info
109
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
110
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
111
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
112
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
113
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
114
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
115
		export version=custom_import_name
116
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
117
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
118
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
119
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
120
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
121
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
122
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
123
		To view progress:
124
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
125
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
126
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
127
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
128
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
129
		kill % # cancel after_import()
130
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
131
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
132
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
133
		export version=<version>
134
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
135
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
136
	Get $version: echo $version
137
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
138
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
139
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
140
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
141
	check for disk space errors:
142
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
143
		if there are any matches:
144
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
145
				Single datasource import
146
			bin/after_import &
147
			wait for the import to finish
148
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
149
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
150
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
151
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
152
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
153
	Otherwise, continue
154
	In PostgreSQL:
155
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
156
		Get the # observations
157
		Get the # datasources
158
		Get the # datasources with observations
159
		in the r# schema:
160
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
161
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
162
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
163
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
164
			end depending on import order).
165
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
166
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
167
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
168
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
169
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
170
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
171
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
172
			On local machine:
173
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
174
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
175
				make schemas/remake
176
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
177
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
178
				Commit
179
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
180
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
181
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
182
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
183
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
184
	Publish the new import:
185
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
186
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
187
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
188
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
189
	unset version
190
	make backups/upload live=1
191
	on local machine:
192
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
193
			# download backup to local machine
194
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
195
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
196
		For each newly-archived backup:
197
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
198
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
199
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
200
		On local machine:
201
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
202
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
203
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
204
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
205
				now in the copied tab instead
206
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
207
		export version=<version>
208
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
209
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
210
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
211
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
212
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
213
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
214
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
215
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
216
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
217
	Running individual steps separately:
218
	To run TNRS:
219
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
220
		make scrub &
221
		To view progress:
222
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
223
	To remake analytical DB:
224
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
225
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
226
		To view progress:
227
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
228
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
229
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
230
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
231
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
232
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
233
			$version with the appropriate revision
234
		make backups/upload live=1
235

    
236
Datasource setup:
237
	On local machine:
238
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
239
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
240
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
241
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
242
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
243
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
244
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
245
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
246
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
247
		For .sql exports:
248
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
249
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
250
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
251
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
252
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
253
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
254
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
255
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
256
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
257
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
258
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
259
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
260
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
261
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
262
	For MS Access databases:
263
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
264
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
265
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
266
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
267
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
268
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
269
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
270
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
271
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
272
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
273
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
274
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
275
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
276
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
277
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
278
			name must end in ".src"
279
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
280
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
281
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
282
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
283
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
284
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
285
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
286
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
287
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
288
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
289
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
290
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
291
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
292
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
293
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
294
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
295
			that depend on it
296
		For a new-style datasource:
297
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
298
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
299
	Install the staging tables:
300
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
301
		For a MySQL .sql export:
302
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
303
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
304
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
305
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
306
			tail provides a header line with the filename
307
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
308
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
309
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
310
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
311
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
312
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
313
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
314
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
315
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
316
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
317
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
318
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
319
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
320
				Save
321
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
322
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
323
	Map each table's columns:
324
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
325
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
326
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
327
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
328
				left column of the core map
329
			Save
330
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
331
	Accept the test cases:
332
		For a new-style datasource:
333
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
334
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
335
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
336
		For an old-style datasource:
337
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
338
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
339
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
340
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
341
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
342
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
343
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
344
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
345
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
346
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
347
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
348
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
349
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
350
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
351
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
352
	Update vegbiendev:
353
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
354
			up
355
		On local machine:
356
			./fix_perms
357
			make inputs/upload
358
			make inputs/upload live=1
359
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
360
			up
361
			make inputs/download
362
			make inputs/download live=1
363
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
364

    
365
Maintenance:
366
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
367
--
368
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
369
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
370
umask ug=rwx,o=rx
371

    
372
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
373
--
374
	if http://vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu/phppgadmin/ goes down:
375
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
376
			make phppgadmin-Linux
377
	regularly, re-run full-database import so that bugs in it don't pile up.
378
		it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.
379
	to back up the vegbiendev databases:
380
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
381
		back up MySQL: # usually few changes, so do this first
382
			live= backups/mysql_snapshot

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
485
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
486
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
487
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
488
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
489
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
591
		To rename a table:
592
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
593
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
594
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
595
				Search for <new>
596
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
597
		To rename a column:
598
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
599
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
600
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
601
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
602
		Determine the poster size:
603
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
604
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
605
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
606
			Zoom in as far as possible
607
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
608
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
609
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
610
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
611
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
612
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
613
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
614
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
615
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
616
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
617
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
618
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
619
		Determine the cost:
620
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
621
				charges the following for posters:
622
				base: $7.25/sq ft
623
				lamination: $3/sq ft
624
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
625

Testing:
627
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
628
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
629
		export log= n=2
630
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
631
	On local machine:
632
	Mapping process: make test
633
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
634
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
635
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
636
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
637
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
638
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
639
			the appropriate null value to use.
