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 refresh:
42
	# -> Maintenance > to back up the vegbiendev databases
43
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
44
	rm=1 inputs/<datasrc>/run # reload staging tables
45
	make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
46
		# this works whether or not datasource is already imported
47
	# -> Full database import > To re-run geoscrubbing
48
	# -> Full database import > To remake analytical DB
49
	# -> Maintenance > to back up the vegbiendev databases
50

    
51
Full database import:
52
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
53
		breaking column-based import
54
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
55
		"Notes on running programs"
56
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
57
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
58
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
59
		the import using all the available cores.
60
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
61
		your local machine"
62
	On local machine:
63
		make inputs/upload
64
		make inputs/upload live=1
65
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
66
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
67
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
68
			See note under Testing below
69
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
70
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
71
	up
72
	make inputs/download
73
	make inputs/download live=1
74
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
75
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
76
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
77
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
78
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
79
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
80
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
81
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
82
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
83
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
84
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
85
		make postgres_restart
86
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
87
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
88
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
89
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
90
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
91
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
92
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
93
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
94
			List backups/ to view older backups
95
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
96
			Remove these backups
97
	for full import:
98
		screen
99
		Press ENTER
100
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
101
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
102
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
103
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
104
	on local machine:
105
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
106
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
107
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
108
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
109
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
110
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
111
		svn info
112
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
113
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
114
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
115
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
116
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
117
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
118
		export version=custom_import_name
119
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
120
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
121
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
122
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
123
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
124
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
125
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
126
		To view progress:
127
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
128
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
129
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
130
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
131
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
132
		kill % # cancel after_import()
133
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
134
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
135
		due to continuously-changing files
136
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
137
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
138
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
139
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
140
		export version=<version>
141
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
142
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
143
	Get $version: echo $version
144
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
145
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
146
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
147
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
148
	check for disk space errors:
149
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
150
		if there are any matches:
151
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
152
				Single datasource import
153
			bin/after_import &
154
			wait for the import to finish
155
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
156
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
157
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
158
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
159
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
160
	Otherwise, continue
161
	In PostgreSQL:
162
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
163
		Get the # observations
164
		Get the # datasources
165
		Get the # datasources with observations
166
		in the r# schema:
167
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
168
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
169
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
170
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
171
			end depending on import order).
172
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
173
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
174
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
175
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
176
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
177
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
178
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
179
			On local machine:
180
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
181
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
182
				make schemas/remake
183
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
184
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
185
				Commit
186
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
187
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
188
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
189
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
190
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
191
	Publish the new import:
192
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
193
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
194
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
195
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
196
	unset version
197
	make backups/upload live=1
198
	on local machine:
199
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
200
			# download backup to local machine
201
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
202
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
203
		For each newly-archived backup:
204
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
205
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
206
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
207
		On local machine:
208
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
209
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
210
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
211
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
212
				now in the copied tab instead
213
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
214
		export version=<version>
215
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
216
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
217
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
218
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
219
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
220
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
221
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
222
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
223
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
224
	Running individual steps separately:
225
	To run TNRS:
226
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
227
		to rescrub all names:
228
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
229
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
230
		make scrub &
231
		To view progress:
232
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
233
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
234
		$ screen
235
		# press Enter
236
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
237
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &
238
			# runtime: 8 min ("7:40.54") @r14089 @vegbiendev
239
		# wait until done
240
		$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
241
			# runtime: 25 s ("0m24.936s") @r14089 @vegbiendev

248
		# re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
249
		# press Ctrl+D
250
		# remake the analytical DB (below)
251
	To remake analytical DB:
252
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
253
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
254
		To view progress:
255
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
256
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
257
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
258
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
259
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
260
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
261
			$version with the appropriate revision
262
		make backups/upload live=1
263

    
264
Datasource setup:
265
	On local machine:
266
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
267
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
268
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
269
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
270
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
271
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
272
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
273
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
274
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
275
		For .sql exports:
276
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
277
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
278
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
279
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
280
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
281
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
282
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
283
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
284
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
285
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
286
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
287
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
288
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
289
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
290
	For MS Access databases:
291
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
292
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
293
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
294
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
295
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
296
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
297
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
298
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
299
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
300
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
301
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
302
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
303
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
304
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
305
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
306
			name must end in ".src"
307
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
308
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
309
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
310
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
311
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
312
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
313
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
314
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
315
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
316
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
317
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
318
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
319
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
320
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
321
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
322
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
323
			that depend on it
324
		For a new-style datasource:
325
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
326
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
327
	Install the staging tables:
328
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
329
		For a MySQL .sql export:
330
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
331
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
332
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
333
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
334
			tail provides a header line with the filename
335
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
336
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
337
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
338
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
339
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
340
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
341
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
342
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
343
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
344
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
345
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
346
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
347
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
348
				Save
349
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
350
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
351
	Map each table's columns:
352
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
353
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
354
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
355
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
356
				left column of the core map
357
			Save
358
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
359
	Accept the test cases:
360
		For a new-style datasource:
361
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
362
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
363
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
364
		For an old-style datasource:
365
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
366
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
367
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
368
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
369
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
370
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
371
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
372
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
373
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
374
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
375
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
376
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
377
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
378
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
379
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
380
	Update vegbiendev:
381
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
382
			up
383
		On local machine:
384
			./fix_perms
385
			make inputs/upload
386
			make inputs/upload live=1
387
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
388
			up
389
			make inputs/download
390
			make inputs/download live=1
391
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
392

    
393
Maintenance:
394
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
395
--
396

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
539
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
540
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
541
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
542
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
543
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
645
		To rename a table:
646
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
647
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
648
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
649
				Search for <new>
650
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
651
		To rename a column:
652
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
653
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
654
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
655
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
656
		Determine the poster size:
657
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
658
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
659
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
660
			Zoom in as far as possible
661
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
662
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
663
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
664
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
665
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
666
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
667
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
668
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
669
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
670
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
671
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
672
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
673
		Determine the cost:
674
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
675
				charges the following for posters:
676
				base: $7.25/sq ft
677
				lamination: $3/sq ft
678
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
681
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
682
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
683
		export log= n=2
684
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
685
	On local machine:
686
	Mapping process: make test
687
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
688
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
689
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
690
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
691
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
692
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
693
			the appropriate null value to use.
694
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
695
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
696
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
