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
	-> Maintenance > to back up the vegbiendev databases > back up Postgres
105
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
106
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
107
	up
108
	make inputs/download
109
	make inputs/download live=1
110
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
111
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
112
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
113
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
114
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
115
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
116
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
117
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
118
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
119
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
120
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
121
		make postgres_restart
122
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
123
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
124
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
125
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
126
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
127
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
128
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
129
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
130
			List backups/ to view older backups
131
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
132
			Remove these backups
133
	for full import:
134
		screen
135
		Press ENTER
136
		unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
137
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
138
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
139
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
140
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
141
	on local machine:
142
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
143
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
144
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
145
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
146
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
147
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
148
		svn info
149
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
150
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
151
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
152
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
153
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
154
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
155
		export version=custom_import_name
156
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
157
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
158
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
159
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
160
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
161
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
162
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
163
		To view progress:
164
			tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
165
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
166
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
167
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
168
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
169
		kill % # cancel after_import()
170
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
171
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
172
		due to continuously-changing files
173
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
174
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
175
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
176
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
177
		export version=<version>
178
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
179
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
180
	Get $version: echo $version
181
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
182
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
183
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
184
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
185
	check for disk space errors:
186
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
187
		if there are any matches:
188
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
189
				Single datasource import
190
			bin/after_import &
191
			wait for the import to finish
192
	tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
193
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
194
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
195
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
196
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
197
	Otherwise, continue
198
	In PostgreSQL:
199
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
200
		Get the # observations
201
		Get the # datasources
202
		Get the # datasources with observations
203
		in the r# schema:
204
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
205
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
206
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
207
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
208
			end depending on import order).
209
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
210
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
211
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
212
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
213
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
214
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
215
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
216
			On local machine:
217
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
218
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
219
				make schemas/remake
220
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
221
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
222
				Commit
223
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
224
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
225
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
226
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
227
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
228
	Publish the new import:
229
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
230
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
231
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
232
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
233
	unset version
234
	make backups/upload live=1
235
	on local machine:

			# download backup to local machine
238
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
239
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
240
		For each newly-archived backup:
241
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
242
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
243
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
244
		On local machine:
245
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
246
		click the "current" tab
247
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
248
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
249
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
250
				now in the copied tab instead
251
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
252
		export version=<version>
253
		bin/import_date inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
254
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
255
		bin/import_times inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
256
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
257
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
258
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
259
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
260
			tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
261
		update the Postprocessing times:
262
			analytical DB remake time:
263
				from the end of inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql,
264
					search upwards for "_individual_view_modify" followed by a
265
					line of -'s
266
				enter as: =[ms]/1000/3600/24
267
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'

	Running individual steps separately:
269
	To run TNRS:
270
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
271
		to rescrub all names:
272
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
273
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
274
		make scrub &
275
		To view progress:
276
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
277
	To re-run geoscrubbing:

		make backups/upload live=1
310

    
311
Datasource setup:
312
	On local machine:
313
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
314
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
315
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
316
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
317
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
318
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
319
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
320
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
321
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
322
		For .sql exports:
323
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
324
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
325
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
326
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
327
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
328
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
329
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
330
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
331
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
332
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
333
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
334
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
335
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
336
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
337
	For MS Access databases:
338
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
339
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
340
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
341
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
342
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
343
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
344
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
345
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
346
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
347
			Replace text "^CREATE DATABASE .*?;$" with "/*$0*/"
348
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
349
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
350
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
351
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
352
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
353
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
354
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
355
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
356
			name must end in ".src"
357
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
358
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
359
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
360
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
361
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
362
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
363
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
364
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
365
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
366
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
367
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
368
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
369
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
370
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
371
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
372
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
373
			that depend on it
374
		For a new-style datasource:
375
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
376
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
377
	Install the staging tables:
378
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
379
		For a MySQL .sql export:
380
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
381
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
382
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
383
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
384
			tail provides a header line with the filename
385
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
386
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
387
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
388
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
389
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
390
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
391
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
392
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
393
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
394
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
395
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
396
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
397
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
398
				Save
399
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
400
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
401
	Map each table's columns:
402
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
403
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
404
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
405
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
406
				left column of the core map
407
			Save
408
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
409
	Accept the test cases:
410
		For a new-style datasource:
411
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
412
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
413
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
414
		For an old-style datasource:
415
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
416
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
417
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
418
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
419
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
420
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
421
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
422
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
423
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
424
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
425
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
426
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
427
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
428
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
429
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
430
	Update vegbiendev:
431
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
432
			up
433
		On local machine:
434
			./fix_perms
435

Maintenance:
444
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
445

447
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
448

607
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
608
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
609
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
610
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
611
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
612
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
714
		To rename a table:
715
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
716
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
717
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
718
				Search for <new>
719
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
720
		To rename a column:
721
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
722
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
723
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
724
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
725
		Determine the poster size:
726
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
727
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
728
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
729
			Zoom in as far as possible
730
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
731
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
732
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
733
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
734
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
735
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
736
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
737
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
738
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
739
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
740
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
741
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
742
		Determine the cost:

			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
744
				charges the following for posters:
745
				base: $7.25/sq ft
746
				lamination: $3/sq ft
747
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
750
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
751
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
752
		export log= n=2
753
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
754
	On local machine:
755
	Mapping process: make test
756
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
757
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
758
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
759
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
760
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
761
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
762
			the appropriate null value to use.
763
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
764
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
765
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

	"Binary chop" debugging:
769
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
770
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
771
		up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml

			**IMPORTANT**: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
775
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
776
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
777
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
778
				redirects are permanent.
