Notes on system stability:
29
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
30
		sudo service postgresql stop
31
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
32
		database corruption 
33
	**WARNING**: system upgrades can break key parts of the full-database
34
		import, causing errors such as disk space overruns. for this reason, it
35
		is recommended to maintain a snapshot copy of the VM as it was at the
36
		last successful import, for fallback use if a system upgrade breaks
37
		anything. system upgrades on the snapshot VM should be disabled
38
		completely, and because this will also disable security fixes, the
39
		snapshot VM should be disconnected from the internet and all networking
40
		interfaces. (this is an unfortunate consequence of modern OSes being
41
		written in non-memory-safe languages such as C and C++.)
42

    
43
Notes on running programs:
44
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
45
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
46
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
47
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
48

    
49
Notes on editing files:
50
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
51
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
52
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
53

    
54
Full database import:
55
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
56
		breaking column-based import
57
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
58
		"Notes on running programs"
59
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
60
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
61
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
62
		the import using all the available cores.
63
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
64
		your local machine"
65
	On local machine:
66
		make inputs/upload
67
		make inputs/upload live=1
68
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
69
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
70
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
71
			See note under Testing below
72
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
73
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
74
	up
75
	make inputs/download
76
	make inputs/download live=1
77
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
78
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
79
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
80
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
81
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
82
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
83
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
84
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
85
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
86
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
87
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
88
		make postgres_restart
89
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
90
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
91
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
92
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
93
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
94
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
95
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
96
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
97
			List backups/ to view older backups
98
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
99
			Remove these backups
100
	for full import:
101
		screen
102
		Press ENTER
103
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
104
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
105
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
106
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
107
	on local machine:
108
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
109
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
110
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
111
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
112
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
113
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
114
		svn info
115
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
116
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
117
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
118
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
119
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
120
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
121
		export version=custom_import_name
122
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
123
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
124
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
125
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
126
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
127
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
128
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
129
		To view progress:
130
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
131
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
132
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
133
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
134
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
135
		kill % # cancel after_import()
136
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
137
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
138
		due to continuously-changing files
139
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
140
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
141
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
142
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
143
		export version=<version>
144
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
145
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
146
	Get $version: echo $version
147
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
148
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
149
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
150
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
151
	check for disk space errors:
152
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
153
		if there are any matches:
154
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
155
				Single datasource import
156
			bin/after_import &
157
			wait for the import to finish
158
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
159
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
160
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
161
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
162
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
163
	Otherwise, continue
164
	In PostgreSQL:
165
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
166
		Get the # observations
167
		Get the # datasources
168
		Get the # datasources with observations
169
		in the r# schema:
170
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
171
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
172
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
173
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
174
			end depending on import order).
175
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
176
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
177
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
178
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
179
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
180
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
181
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
182
			On local machine:
183
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
184
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
185
				make schemas/remake
186
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
187
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
188
				Commit
189
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
190
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
191
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
192
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
193
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
194
	Publish the new import:
195
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
196
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
197
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
198
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
199
	unset version
200
	make backups/upload live=1
201
	on local machine:
202
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
203
			# download backup to local machine
204
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
205
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
206
		For each newly-archived backup:
207
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
208
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
209
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
210
		On local machine:
211
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
212
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
213
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
214
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
215
				now in the copied tab instead
216
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
217
		export version=<version>
218
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
219
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
220
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
221
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
222
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
223
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
224
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
225
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
226
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
227
	Running individual steps separately:
228
	To run TNRS:
229
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
230
		to rescrub all names:
231
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
232
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
233
		make scrub &
234
		To view progress:
235
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
236
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
237
		$ screen
238
		# press Enter
239
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
240
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &
241
			# runtime: 8 min ("7:40.54") @r14089 @vegbiendev
242
		# wait until done
243
		$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
244
			# runtime: 25 s ("0m24.936s") @r14089 @vegbiendev

251
		# re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
252
		# press Ctrl+D
253
		# remake the analytical DB (below)
254
	To remake analytical DB:
255
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
256
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
257
		To view progress:
258
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
259
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
260
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
261
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
262
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
263
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
264
			$version with the appropriate revision
265
		make backups/upload live=1
266

    
267
Datasource setup:
268
	On local machine:
269
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
270
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
271
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
272
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
273
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
274
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
275
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
276
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
277
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
278
		For .sql exports:
279
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
280
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
281
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
282
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
283
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
284
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
285
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
286
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
287
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
288
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
289
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
290
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
291
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
292
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
293
	For MS Access databases:
294
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
295
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
296
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
297
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
298
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
299
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
300
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
301
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
302
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
303
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
304
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
305
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
306
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
307
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
308
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
309
			name must end in ".src"
310
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
311
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
312
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
313
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
314
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
315
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
316
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
317
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
318
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
319
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
320
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
321
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
322
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
323
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
324
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
325
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
326
			that depend on it
327
		For a new-style datasource:
328
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
329
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
330
	Install the staging tables:
331
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
332
		For a MySQL .sql export:
333
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
334
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
335
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
336
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
337
			tail provides a header line with the filename
338
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
339
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
340
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
341
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
342
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
343
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
344
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
345
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
346
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
347
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
348
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
349
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
350
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
351
				Save
352
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
353
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
354
	Map each table's columns:
355
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
356
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
357
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
358
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
359
				left column of the core map
360
			Save
361
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
362
	Accept the test cases:
363
		For a new-style datasource:
364
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
365
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
366
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
367
		For an old-style datasource:
368
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
369
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
370
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
371
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
372
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
373
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
374
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
375
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
376
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
377
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
378
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
379
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
380
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
381
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
382
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
383
	Update vegbiendev:
384
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
385
			up
386
		On local machine:
387
			./fix_perms
388
			make inputs/upload
389
			make inputs/upload live=1
390
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
391
			up
392
			make inputs/download
393
			make inputs/download live=1
394

547
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
548
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
549
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
550
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
551
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
552
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
654
		To rename a table:
655
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
656
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
657
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
658
				Search for <new>
659
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
660
		To rename a column:
661
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
662
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
663
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
664
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
665
		Determine the poster size:
666
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
667
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
668
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
669
			Zoom in as far as possible
670
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
671
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
672
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
673
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
674
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
675
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
676
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
677
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
678
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
679
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
680
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
681
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
682
		Determine the cost:
683
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
684
				charges the following for posters:
685
				base: $7.25/sq ft
686
				lamination: $3/sq ft
687
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
688

Testing:
690
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
691
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
692
		export log= n=2
693
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
694
	On local machine:
695
	Mapping process: make test
696
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
697
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
698
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
699
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
700
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
701
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
702
			the appropriate null value to use.
703
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
704
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
705
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
710
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
711
		up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
712
	.htaccess:
713
		mod_rewrite:
714
			**IMPORTANT**: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
715
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
716
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
717
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
718
				redirects are permanent.
