69
Notes on system stability:
70
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
71
		sudo service postgresql stop
72
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
73
		database corruption 
74

    
75
Notes on running programs:
76
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
77
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
78
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
79
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
80

    
81
Notes on editing files:
82
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
83
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
84
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
85

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

		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
235
			# download backup to local machine
236
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
237
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
238
		For each newly-archived backup:
239
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
240
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
241
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
242
		On local machine:
243
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
244
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
245
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
246
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
247
				now in the copied tab instead
248
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
249
		export version=<version>
250
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
251
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
252
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
253
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
254
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
255
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
256
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
257
			tail inputs/{.,}??*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
258
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
259
	Running individual steps separately:
260
	To run TNRS:
261
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
262
		to rescrub all names:
263
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
264
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
265
		make scrub &
266
		To view progress:
267
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
268
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
269
		$ screen
270
		# press Enter
271
		$ unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
272
		# to use an import other than public: $ export version=<version>

			tail -150 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
295
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
296
		To use an import *other than public*: export version=<version>
297
		make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
298
		dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &

		make backups/upload live=1
302

    
303
Datasource setup:
304
	On local machine:
305
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
306
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
307
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
308
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
309
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
310
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
311
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
312
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
313
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
314
		For .sql exports:
315
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
316
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
317
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
318
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
319
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
320
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
321
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
322
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
323
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
324
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
325
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
326
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
327
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
328
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
329
	For MS Access databases:
330
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
331
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
332
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
333
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
334
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
335
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
336
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
337
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
338
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
339
			Replace text "^CREATE DATABASE .*?;$" with "/*$0*/"
340
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
341
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
342
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
343
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
344
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
345
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
346
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
347
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
348
			name must end in ".src"
349
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
350
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
351
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
352
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
353
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
354
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
355
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
356
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
357
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
358
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
359
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
360
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
361
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
362
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
363
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
364
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
365
			that depend on it
366
		For a new-style datasource:
367
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
368
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
369
	Install the staging tables:
370
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
371
		For a MySQL .sql export:
372
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
373
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
374
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
375
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
376
			tail provides a header line with the filename
377
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
378
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
379
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
380
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
381
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
382
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
383
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
384
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
385
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
386
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
387
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
388
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
389
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
390
				Save
391
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
392
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
393
	Map each table's columns:
394
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
395
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
396
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
397
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
398
				left column of the core map
399
			Save
400
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
401
	Accept the test cases:
402
		For a new-style datasource:
403
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
404
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
405
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
406
		For an old-style datasource:
407
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
408
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
409
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
410
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
411
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
412
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
413
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
414
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
415
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
416
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
417
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
418
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
419
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
420
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
421
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
422
	Update vegbiendev:
423
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
424
			up
425
		On local machine:
426
			./fix_perms
427
			make inputs/upload

433
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
434

Maintenance:
436
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
437
--
438
# make svn files web-accessible. this does not affect unversioned files, because
439
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
440
umask ug=rwx,o=rx

442
unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
443

593
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
594
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
595
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
596
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
597
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
598
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
700
		To rename a table:
701
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
702
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
703
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
704
				Search for <new>
705
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
706
		To rename a column:
707
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
708
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
709
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
710
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
711
		Determine the poster size:
712
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
713
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
714
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
715
			Zoom in as far as possible
716
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
717
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
718
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
719
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
720
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
721
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
722
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
723
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
724
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
725
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
726
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
727
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
728
		Determine the cost:
729
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
730
				charges the following for posters:
731
				base: $7.25/sq ft
732
				lamination: $3/sq ft
733
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
734

	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
737
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
738
		export log= n=2
739
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
740
	On local machine:
741
	Mapping process: make test
742
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
743
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
744
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
745
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
746
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
747
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
748
			the appropriate null value to use.
749
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
750
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
751
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
752

Debugging:
754
	"Binary chop" debugging:
755
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
756
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
757
		up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
758
	.htaccess:
759
		mod_rewrite:
760
			**IMPORTANT**: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
761
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
762
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
763
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
764
				redirects are permanent.
765
				for Firefox:
766
					press Cmd+Shift+Delete
767
					check only Cache
768
					press Enter or click Clear Now
