65
	$ make inputs/$datasrc/rm # runtime: >=1.5 min ("1m40.764s" for NVS)
66

    
67
Notes on system stability:
68
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
69
		sudo service postgresql stop
70
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
71
		database corruption 
72

    
73
Notes on running programs:
74
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
75
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
76
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
77
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
78

    
79
Notes on editing files:
80
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
81
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
82
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
83

    
84
Full database import:
85
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
86
		breaking column-based import
87
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
88
		"Notes on running programs"
89
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
90
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
91
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
92
		the import using all the available cores.
93
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
94
		your local machine"
95
	On local machine:
96
		make inputs/upload
97
		make inputs/upload live=1
98
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
99
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
100
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
101
			See note under Testing below
102
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
103
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
104
	up
105
	make inputs/download
106
	make inputs/download live=1
107
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
108
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
109
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
110
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
111
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
112
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
113
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
114
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
115
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
116
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
117
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
118
		make postgres_restart
119
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
120
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
121
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
122
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
123
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
124
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
125
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
126
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
127
			List backups/ to view older backups
128
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
129
			Remove these backups
130
	for full import:
131
		screen
132
		Press ENTER
133
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
134
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
135
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
136
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
137
	on local machine:
138
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
139
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
140
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
141
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
142
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
143
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
144
		svn info
145
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
146
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
147
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
148
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
149
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
150
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
151
		export version=custom_import_name
152
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
153
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
154
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
155
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
156
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
157
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
158
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
159
		To view progress:
160
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
161
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
162
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
163
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
164
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
165
		kill % # cancel after_import()
166
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
167
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
168
		due to continuously-changing files
169
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
170
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
171
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
172
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
173
		export version=<version>
174
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
175
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
176
	Get $version: echo $version
177
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
178
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
179
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
180
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
181
	check for disk space errors:
182
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
183
		if there are any matches:
184
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
185
				Single datasource import
186
			bin/after_import &
187
			wait for the import to finish
188
	tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
189
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
190
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
191
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
192
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
193
	Otherwise, continue
194
	In PostgreSQL:
195
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
196
		Get the # observations
197
		Get the # datasources
198
		Get the # datasources with observations
199
		in the r# schema:
200
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
201
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
202
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
203
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
204
			end depending on import order).
205
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
206
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
207
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
208
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
209
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
210
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
211
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
212
			On local machine:
213
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
214
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
215
				make schemas/remake
216
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
217
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
218
				Commit
219
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
220
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
221
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
222
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
223
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
224
	Publish the new import:
225
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
226
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
227
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
228
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
229
	unset version
230
	make backups/upload live=1
231
	on local machine:
232
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
233
			# download backup to local machine
234
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
235
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
236
		For each newly-archived backup:
237
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
238
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
239
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
240
		On local machine:
241
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
242
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
243
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
244
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
245
				now in the copied tab instead
246
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
247
		export version=<version>
248
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
249
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
250
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
251
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
252
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
253
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
254
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
255
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
256
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
257
	Running individual steps separately:
258
	To run TNRS:
259
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
260
		to rescrub all names:
261
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
262
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
263
		make scrub &
264
		To view progress:
265
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
266
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
267
		$ screen
268
		# press Enter
269
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>
270
		$ bin/psql_verbose_vegbien <<<'SELECT geoscrub_input_view_modify();' &

			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
289
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
290
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
291
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
292
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
293

294
			$version with the appropriate revision
295
		make backups/upload live=1
296

    
297
Datasource setup:
298
	On local machine:
299
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
300
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
301
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
302
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
303
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
304
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
305
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
306
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
307
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
308
		For .sql exports:
309
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
310
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
311
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
312
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
313
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
314
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
315
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
316
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
317
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
318
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
319
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
320
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
321
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
322
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
323
	For MS Access databases:
324
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
325
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
326
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
327
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
328
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
329
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
330
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
331
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
332
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
333
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
334
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
335
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
336
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
337
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
338
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
339
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
340
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
341
			name must end in ".src"
342
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
343
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
344
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
345
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
346
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
347
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
348
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
349
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
350
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
351
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
352
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
353
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
354
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
355
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
356
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
357
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
358
			that depend on it
359
		For a new-style datasource:
360
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
361
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
362
	Install the staging tables:
363
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
364
		For a MySQL .sql export:
365
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
366
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
367
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
368
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
369
			tail provides a header line with the filename
370
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
371
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
372
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
373
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
374
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
375
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
376
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
377
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
378
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
379
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
380
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
381
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
382
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
383
				Save
384
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
385
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
386
	Map each table's columns:
387
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
388
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
389
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
390
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
391
				left column of the core map
392
			Save
393
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
394
	Accept the test cases:
395
		For a new-style datasource:
396
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
397
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
398
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
399
		For an old-style datasource:
400
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
401
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
402
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
403
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
404
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
405
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
406
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
407
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
408
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
409
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
410
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
411
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
412
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
413
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
414
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
415
	Update vegbiendev:
416
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
417
			up
418
		On local machine:
419
			./fix_perms
420
			make inputs/upload

			make inputs/download live=1
426
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above

Maintenance:
429
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
430
--
431
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
432
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
433
umask ug=rwx,o=rx

		Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
572
			(https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)

					datasource mappings/staging tables" above
586
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
587
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
588
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
589
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
590
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
591
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
693
		To rename a table:
694
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
695
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
696
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
697
				Search for <new>
698
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
699
		To rename a column:
700
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
701
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
702
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
703
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
704
		Determine the poster size:
705
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
706
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
707
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
708
			Zoom in as far as possible
709
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
710
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
711
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
712
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
713
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
714
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
715
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
716
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
717
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
718
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
719
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
720
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
721
		Determine the cost:
722
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
723
				charges the following for posters:
724
				base: $7.25/sq ft
725
				lamination: $3/sq ft
726
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
727

    
728
Testing:
729
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
730
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
731
		export log= n=2
732
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
733
	On local machine:
734
	Mapping process: make test
735
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
736
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
737
