Installation:
2
	Check out svn:
3
		svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien/trunk bien
4
	cd bien/
5
	Install: make install
6
		**WARNING**: This will delete the public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
7
	Uninstall: make uninstall
8
		**WARNING**: This will delete your entire VegBIEN DB!
9
		This includes all archived imports and staging tables.
10

    
11
Connecting to vegbiendev:
12
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
13
	cd /home/bien # should happen automatically at login
14

    
15
Notes on system stability:
16
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
17
		sudo service postgresql stop
18
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
19
		database corruption 
20
	**WARNING**: system upgrades can break key parts of the full-database
21
		import, causing errors such as disk space overruns. for this reason, it
22
		is recommended to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the
23
		last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks
24
		anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled
25
		completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the
26
		snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking
27
		interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being
28
		written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)
29

    
30
Notes on running programs:
31
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
32
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
33
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
34
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
35

    
36
Notes on editing files:
37
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
38
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
39
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
40

    
41
Single datasource import:
42
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
43
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
44
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1 &
45
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
46
	Remake analytical DB: see Full database import > To remake analytical DB
47

    
48
Full database import:
49
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
50
		breaking column-based import
51
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
52
		"Notes on running programs"
53
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
54
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
55
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
56
		the import using all the available cores.
57
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
58
		your local machine"
59
	On local machine:
60
		make inputs/upload
61
		make inputs/upload live=1
62
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
63
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
64
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
65
			See note under Testing below
66
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
67
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
68
	up
69
	make inputs/download
70
	make inputs/download live=1
71
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
72
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
73
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
74
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
75
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
76
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
77
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
78
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
79
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
80
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
81
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
82
		make postgres_restart
83
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
84
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
85
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
86
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
87
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
88
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
89
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
90
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
91
			List backups/ to view older backups
92
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
93
			Remove these backups
94
	for full import:
95
		screen
96
		Press ENTER
97
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
98
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
99
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
100
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
101
	on local machine:
102
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
103
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
104
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
105
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
106
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
107
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
108
		svn info
109
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
110
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
111
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
112
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
113
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
114
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
115
		export version=custom_import_name
116
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
117
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
118
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
119
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
120
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
121
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
122
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
123
		To view progress:
124
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$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
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
132
		due to continuously-changing files
133
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
134
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
135
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
136
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
137
		export version=<version>
138
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
139
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
140
	Get $version: echo $version
141
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
142
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
143
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
144
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
145
	check for disk space errors:
146
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
147
		if there are any matches:
148
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
149
				Single datasource import
150
			bin/after_import &
151
			wait for the import to finish
152
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
153
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
154
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
155
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
156
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
157
	Otherwise, continue
158
	In PostgreSQL:
159
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
160
		Get the # observations
161
		Get the # datasources
162
		Get the # datasources with observations
163
		in the r# schema:
164
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
165
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
166
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
167
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
168
			end depending on import order).
169
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
170
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
171
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
172
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
173
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
174
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
175
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
176
			On local machine:
177
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
178
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
179
				make schemas/remake
180
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
181
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
182
				Commit
183
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
184
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
185
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
186
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
187
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
188
	Publish the new import:
189
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
190
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
191
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
192
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
193
	unset version
194
	make backups/upload live=1
195
	on local machine:
196
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
197
			# download backup to local machine
198
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
199
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
200
		For each newly-archived backup:
201
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
202
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
203
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
204
		On local machine:
205
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
206
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
207
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
208
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
209
				now in the copied tab instead
210
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
211
		export version=<version>
212
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
213
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
214
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
215
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
216
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
217
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
218
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
219
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
220
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
221
	Running individual steps separately:
222
	To run TNRS:
223
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
224
		to rescrub all names:
225
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
226
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
227
		make scrub &
228
		To view progress:
229
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
230
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
231
		$ screen
232
		# press Enter
233
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
234
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &
235
			# runtime: 8 min ("7:40.54") @r14089 @vegbiendev

		# remake the analytical DB (below)
248
	To remake analytical DB:
249
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
250
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
251
		To view progress:
252
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
253
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
254
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
255
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
256
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
257
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
258
			$version with the appropriate revision
259
		make backups/upload live=1
260

    
261
Datasource setup:
262
	On local machine:
263
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
264
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
265
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
266
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
267
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
268
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
269
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
270
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
271
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
272
		For .sql exports:
273
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
274
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
275
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
276
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
277
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
278
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
279
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
280
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
281
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
282
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
283
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
284
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
285
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
286
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
287
	For MS Access databases:
288
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
289
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
290
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
291
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
292
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
293
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
294
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
295
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
296
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
297
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
298
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
299
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
300
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
301
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
302
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
303
			name must end in ".src"
304
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
305
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
306
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
307
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
308
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
309
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
310
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
311
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
312
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
313
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
314
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
315
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
316
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
317
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
318
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
319
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
320
			that depend on it
321
		For a new-style datasource:
322
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
323
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
324
	Install the staging tables:
325
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
326
		For a MySQL .sql export:
327
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
328
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
329
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
330
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
331
			tail provides a header line with the filename
332
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
333
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
334
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
335
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
336
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
337
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
338
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
339
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
340
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
341
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
342
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
343
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
344
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
345
				Save
346
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
347
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
348
	Map each table's columns:
349
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
350
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
351
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
352
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
353
				left column of the core map
354
			Save
355
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
356
	Accept the test cases:
357
		For a new-style datasource:
358
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
359
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
360
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
361
		For an old-style datasource:
362
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
363
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
364
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
365
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
366
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
367
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
368
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
369
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
370
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
371
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
372
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
373
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
374
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
375
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
376
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
377
	Update vegbiendev:
378
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
379
			up
380
		On local machine:
381
			./fix_perms
382
			make inputs/upload
383
			make inputs/upload live=1
384
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
385
			up
386
			make inputs/download
387
			make inputs/download live=1
388
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
389

    
390
Maintenance:
391
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
392
--
393
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
394
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
395
umask ug=rwx,o=rx

525
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
526
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
527
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
528
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
529
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
530
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
632
		To rename a table:
633
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
634
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
635
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
636
				Search for <new>
637
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
638
		To rename a column:
639
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
640
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
641
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
642
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
643
		Determine the poster size:
644
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
645
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
646
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
647
			Zoom in as far as possible
648
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
649
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
650
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
651
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
652
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
653
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
654
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
655
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
656
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
657
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
658
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
659
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
660
		Determine the cost:
661
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
662
				charges the following for posters:
663
				base: $7.25/sq ft
664
				lamination: $3/sq ft
665
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
668
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
669
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
670
		export log= n=2
671
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
672
	On local machine:
673
	Mapping process: make test
674
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
675
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
676
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
677
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
678
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
679
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
680
			the appropriate null value to use.
