Installation:
2
	Check out svn:
3
		sudo apt-get install subversion # does not come preinstalled on Ubuntu
4
		svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien/trunk bien
5
	cd bien/
6
	Install: make install
7
		**WARNING**: This will delete the public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
8
	Uninstall: make uninstall
9
		**WARNING**: This will delete your entire VegBIEN DB!
10
		This includes all archived imports and staging tables.
11

    
12
Connecting to vegbiendev:
13
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
14
	cd /home/bien # should happen automatically at login
15

    
16
Single datasource refresh:
17
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
18
	# -> Maintenance > to back up the vegbiendev databases
19
	# place updated extract in inputs/ACAD/_src/
20
	# place extracted flat file(s) in the appropriate table subdirs 
21
	rm=1 inputs/<datasrc>/run # reload staging tables
22
	make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1 &
23
		# this works whether or not datasource is already imported
24
	tail -150 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/public.log.sql # view progress

29
Notes on system stability:
30
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
31
		sudo service postgresql stop
32
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
33
		database corruption 
34

    
35
Notes on running programs:
36
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
37
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
38
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
39
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
40

    
41
Notes on editing files:
42
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
43
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
44
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
45

    
46
Full database import:
47
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
48
		breaking column-based import
49
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
50
		"Notes on running programs"
51
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
52
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
53
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
54
		the import using all the available cores.
55
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
56
		your local machine"
57
	On local machine:
58
		make inputs/upload
59
		make inputs/upload live=1
60
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
61
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
62
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
63
			See note under Testing below
64
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
65
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
66
	up
67
	make inputs/download
68
	make inputs/download live=1
69
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
70
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
71
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
72
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
73
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
74
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
75
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
76
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
77
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
78
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
79
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
80
		make postgres_restart
81
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
82
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
83
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
84
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
85
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
86
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
87
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
88
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
89
			List backups/ to view older backups
90
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
91
			Remove these backups
92
	for full import:
93
		screen
94
		Press ENTER
95
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
96
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
97
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
98
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
99
	on local machine:
100
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
101
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
102
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
103
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
104
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
105
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
106
		svn info
107
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
108
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
109
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
110
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
111
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
112
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
113
		export version=custom_import_name
114
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
115
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
116
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
117
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
118
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
119
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
120
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
121
		To view progress:
122
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
123
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
124
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
125
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
126
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
127
		kill % # cancel after_import()
128
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
129
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
130
		due to continuously-changing files
131
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
132
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
133
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
134
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
135
		export version=<version>
136
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
137
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
138
	Get $version: echo $version
139
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
140
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
141
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
142
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
143
	check for disk space errors:
144
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
145
		if there are any matches:
146
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
147
				Single datasource import
148
			bin/after_import &
149
			wait for the import to finish
150
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
151
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
152
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
153
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
154
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
155
	Otherwise, continue
156
	In PostgreSQL:
157
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
158
		Get the # observations
159
		Get the # datasources
160
		Get the # datasources with observations
161
		in the r# schema:
162
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
163
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
164
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
165
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
166
			end depending on import order).
167
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
168
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
169
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
170
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
171
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
172
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
173
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
174
			On local machine:
175
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
176
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
177
				make schemas/remake
178
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
179
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
180
				Commit
181
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
182
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
183
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
184
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
185
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
186
	Publish the new import:
187
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
188
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
189
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
190
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
191
	unset version
192
	make backups/upload live=1
193
	on local machine:
194
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
195
			# download backup to local machine
196
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
197
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
198
		For each newly-archived backup:
199
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
200
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
201
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
202
		On local machine:
203
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
204
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
205
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
206
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
207
				now in the copied tab instead
208
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
209
		export version=<version>
210
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
211
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
212
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
213
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
214
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
215
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
216
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
217
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
218
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
219
	Running individual steps separately:
220
	To run TNRS:
221
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
222
		to rescrub all names:
223
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
224
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
225
		make scrub &
226
		To view progress:
227
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
228
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
229
		$ screen
230
		# press Enter
231
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
232
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &
233
			# runtime: 8 min ("7:40.54") @r14089 @vegbiendev
234
		# wait until done
235
		$ rm=1 exports/geoscrub_input.csv.run
236
			# runtime: 25 s ("0m24.936s") @r14089 @vegbiendev

243
		# re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
244
		# press Ctrl+D
245
		# remake the analytical DB (below)
246
	To remake analytical DB:
247
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
248
		bin/make_analytical_db & # runtime: 13 h ("12:43:57elapsed")
249
		To view progress:
250
			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
251
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
252
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
253
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
254
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
255
			If after renaming to public, instead set dump_opts='' and replace
256
			$version with the appropriate revision
257
		make backups/upload live=1
258

    
259
Datasource setup:
260
	On local machine:
261
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
262
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
263
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
264
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
265
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
266
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
267
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
268
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
269
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
270
		For .sql exports:
271
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
272
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
273
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
274
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
275
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
276
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
277
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
278
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
279
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
280
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
281
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
282
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
283
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
284
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
285
	For MS Access databases:
286
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
287
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
288
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
289
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
290
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
291
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
292
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
293
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
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

548
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
549
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
550
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
551
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
552
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
553
		Linux and Mac OS X.

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

Testing:
691
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
692
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
693
		export log= n=2
694
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
695
	On local machine:
696
	Mapping process: make test
697
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
698
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
699
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
700
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
701
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
702
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
703
			the appropriate null value to use.
704
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
705
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
706
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
