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
	unlock hardlinked files:
134
		$ chmod ug+w inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/{map.csv,new_terms.csv,unmapped_terms.csv}
135
	for full import:
136
		screen
137
		Press ENTER
138
		unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
139
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
140
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
141
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
142
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
143
	on local machine:
144
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
145
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
146
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
147
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
148
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
149
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
150
		svn info
151
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
152
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
153
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
154
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
155
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
156
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
157
		export version=custom_import_name
158
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
159
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
160
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
161
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
162
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
163
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
164
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
165
		To view progress:
166
			tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
167
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
168
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
169
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
170
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
171
		kill % # cancel after_import()
172
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
173
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
174
		due to continuously-changing files
175
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
176
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
177
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
178
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
179
		export version=<version>
180
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
181
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
182
	Get $version: echo $version
183
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
184
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
185
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
186
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
187
	check for disk space errors:
188
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
189
		if there are any matches:
190
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
191
				Single datasource import
192
			bin/after_import &
193
			wait for the import to finish
194
	tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
195
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
196
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
197
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
198
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
199
	Otherwise, continue
200
	In PostgreSQL:
201
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
202
		Get the # observations
203
		Get the # datasources
204
		Get the # datasources with observations
205
		in the r# schema:
206
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
207
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
208
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
209
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
210
			end depending on import order).
211
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
212
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
213
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
214
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
215
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
216
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
217
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
218
			On local machine:
219
				Make the changes in the DB's TNRS and public schemas
220
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql.run export_
221
				make schemas/remake
222
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub # re-run TNRS
223
				rm=1 inputs/.TNRS/data.sql.run export_
224
				Commit
225
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
226
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
227
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
228
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
229
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &
230
	Publish the new import:
231
		**WARNING**: Before proceeding, be sure you have done *every single*
232
			verification step listed above. Otherwise, a previous valid import
233
			could incorrectly be overwritten with a broken one.
234
		make schemas/$version/publish # runtime: 1 min ("real 1m10.451s")
235
	unset version
236
	make backups/upload live=1
237
	on local machine:

		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/download live=1
239
			# download backup to local machine
240
	ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
241
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
242
		For each newly-archived backup:
243
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
244
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
245
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
246
		On local machine:
247
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
248
		click the "current" tab
249
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
250
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
251
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
252
				now in the copied tab instead
253
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
254
		export version=<version>
255
		bin/import_date inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
256
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
257
		bin/import_times inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
258
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
259
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
260
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
261
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
262
			tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
263
		update the Postprocessing times:
264
			analytical DB remake time:
265
				from the end of inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql,
266
					search upwards for "_individual_view_modify" followed by a
267
					line of -'s
268
				enter as: =[ms]/1000/3600/24
269
		Commit: svn ci -m 'inputs/import.stats.xls: updated import times'
270
	Running individual steps separately:
271
	To run TNRS:
272
		To use an import other than public: export version=<version>
273
		to rescrub all names:
274
			make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall
275
			re-create public-schema views that were cascadingly deleted
276
		make scrub &
277
		To view progress:
278
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
279
	To re-run geoscrubbing:
280
		$ screen

311
		make backups/upload live=1
312

    
313
Datasource setup:
314
	On local machine:
315
	Example steps for a datasource: wiki.vegpath.org/Import_process_for_Madidi
316
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
317
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
318
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
319
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
320
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
321
	For a new-style datasource (one containing a ./run runscript):
322
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
323
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
324
		For .sql exports:
325
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
326
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
327
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
328
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
329
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
330
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
331
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
332
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
333
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
334
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
335
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
336
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
337
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
338
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
339
	For MS Access databases:
340
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
341
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
342
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
343
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
344
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
345
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
346
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
347
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
348
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
349
			Replace text "^CREATE DATABASE .*?;$" with "/*$0*/"
350
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
351
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
352
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
353
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
354
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
355
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
356
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
357
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
358
			name must end in ".src"
359
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
360
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
361
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
362
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
363
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
364
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
365
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
366
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
367
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
368
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
369
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
370
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
371
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
372
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
373
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
374
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
375
			that depend on it
376
		For a new-style datasource:
377
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
378
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
379
	Install the staging tables:
380
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
381
		For a MySQL .sql export:
382
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
383
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
384
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
385
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
386
			tail provides a header line with the filename
387
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
388
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
389
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
390
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
391
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
392
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
393
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
394
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
395
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
396
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
397
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
398
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
399
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
400
				Save
401
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
402
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
403
	Map each table's columns:
404
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
405
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
406
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
407
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
408
				left column of the core map
409
			Save
410
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
411
	Accept the test cases:
412
		For a new-style datasource:
413
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
414
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
415
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
416
		For an old-style datasource:
417
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
418
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
419
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
420
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
421
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
422
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
423
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
424
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
425
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
426
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
427
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
428
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
429
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
430
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
431
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
432
	Update vegbiendev:
433
		ssh aaronmk@jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu
434
			up
435
		On local machine:
436
			./fix_perms
437
			make inputs/upload
438

443
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
444

    
445
Maintenance:
446
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
447

449
# these get the right permissions on the local machine instead.
450

454
	if http://vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu/phppgadmin/ goes down:
455
		ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
456
			make phppgadmin-Linux

458
		it needs to be kept in working order so that it works when it's needed.

609
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
610
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
611
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
612
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
613
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
614
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
716
		To rename a table:
717
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
718
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
719
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
720
				Search for <new>
721
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
722
		To rename a column:
723
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
724
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
725
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
726
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
727
		Determine the poster size:
728
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
729
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
730
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
731
			Zoom in as far as possible
732
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
733
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
734
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
735
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
736
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:

				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040

			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
739
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
740
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
741
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
742
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
743
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
744

Testing:
752
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
753
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
754
		export log= n=2
755
	For development machine specs, see /planning/resources/dev_machine.specs/
756
	On local machine:
757
	Mapping process: make test
758
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
759
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
760
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
761
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
762
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
763
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
764
			the appropriate null value to use.
765
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
766
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
767
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

	"Binary chop" debugging:
771
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
772
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
773
		up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml

			**IMPORTANT**: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
777
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
778
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
779
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
780
				redirects are permanent.
