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/$version.log.sql
216
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
217
	Running individual steps separately:
218
	To run TNRS:
219
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
220
		to rescrub all names:
221
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
222
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
223
		make scrub &
224
		To view progress:
225
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
226
	To remake analytical DB:
227
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
228
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
229
		To view progress:
230
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
231
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
232
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
233
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
234
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
235
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
236
			$version with the appropriate revision
237
		make backups/upload live=1
238

    
239
Datasource setup:
240
	On local machine:
241
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
242
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
243
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
244
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
245
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
246
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
247
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
248
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
249
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
250
		For .sql exports:
251
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
252
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
253
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
254
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
255
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
256
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
257
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
258
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
259
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
260
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
261
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
262
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
263
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
264
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
265
	For MS Access databases:
266
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
267
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
268
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
269
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
270
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
271
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
272
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
273
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
274
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
275
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
276
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
277
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
278
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
279
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
280
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
281
			name must end in ".src"
282
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
283
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
284
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
285
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
286
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
287
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
288
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
289
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
290
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
291
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
292
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
293
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
294
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
295
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
296
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
297
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
298
			that depend on it
299
		For a new-style datasource:
300
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
301
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
302
	Install the staging tables:
303
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
304
		For a MySQL .sql export:
305
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
306
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
307
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
308
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
309
			tail provides a header line with the filename
310
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
311
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
312
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
313
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
314
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
315
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
316
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
317
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
318
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
319
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
320
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
321
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
322
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
323
				Save
324
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
325
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
326
	Map each table's columns:
327
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
328
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
329
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
330
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
331
				left column of the core map
332
			Save
333
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
334
	Accept the test cases:
335
		For a new-style datasource:
336
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
337
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
338
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
339
		For an old-style datasource:
340
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
341
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
342
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
343
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
344
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
345
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
346
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
347
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
348
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
349
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
350
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
351
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
352
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
353
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
354
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
355
	Update vegbiendev:
356
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
357
			up
358
		On local machine:
359
			./fix_perms
360
			make inputs/upload
361
			make inputs/upload live=1
362
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
363
			up
364
			make inputs/download
365
			make inputs/download live=1
366
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
367

    
368
Maintenance:
369
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
370
--
371
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
372
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
373
umask ug=rwx,o=rx
374

    
375
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
376
--
377
	if http://vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu/phppgadmin/ goes down:
378
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
379
			make phppgadmin-Linux
380
	regularly, re-run full-database import so that bugs in it don't pile up.
381
		it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.
382
	to back up the vegbiendev databases:
383
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
384
		back up MySQL: # usually few changes, so do this first

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
488
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
489
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
490
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
491
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
492
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
594
		To rename a table:
595
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
596
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
597
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
598
				Search for <new>
599
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
600
		To rename a column:
601
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
602
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
603
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
604
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
605
		Determine the poster size:
606
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
607
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
608
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
609
			Zoom in as far as possible
610
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
611
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
612
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
613
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
614
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
615
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
616
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
617
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
618
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
619
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
620
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
621
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
622
		Determine the cost:
623
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
624
				charges the following for posters:
625
				base: $7.25/sq ft
626
				lamination: $3/sq ft
627
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
628

Testing:
630
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
631
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
632
		export log= n=2
633
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
634
	On local machine:
635
	Mapping process: make test
636
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
637
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
638
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
639
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
640
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
641
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
642
			the appropriate null value to use.
643
