72 13024 aaronmk
Notes on system stability:
73 14091 aaronmk
	**WARNING**: when shutting down the VM, always first stop Postgres:
74
		sudo service postgresql stop
75
		this prevents the OS from SIGKILLing Postgres, which sometimes causes
76
		database corruption
77 13024 aaronmk
78 12011 aaronmk
Notes on running programs:
79
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, to avoid spurious bugs. the
80
		shell should not have changes to the env vars. (there have been bugs
81
		that went away after closing and reopening the terminal window.) note
82
		that running `exec bash` is not sufficient to *reset* the env vars.
83
84 11967 aaronmk
Notes on editing files:
85
	**WARNING**: shell scripts should always be read-only, so that editing them
86
		while an import is in progress will not crash the import (see
87
		http://vegpath.org/links/#**%20modifying%20a%20running%20shell%20script)
88
89 7287 aaronmk
Full database import:
90 12226 aaronmk
	**WARNING**: You must perform *every single* step listed below, to avoid
91 9499 aaronmk
		breaking column-based import
92 12011 aaronmk
	**WARNING**: always start with a clean shell, as described above under
93
		"Notes on running programs"
94 13021 aaronmk
	**IMPORTANT**: the beginning of the import should be scheduled at a time
95
		when the DB will not be needed for other uses. this is necessary because
96
		vegbiendev will be slow for the first few hours of the import, due to
97
		the import using all the available cores.
98 13000 aaronmk
	do steps under Maintenance > "to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and
99
		your local machine"
100 8458 aaronmk
	On local machine:
101
		make inputs/upload
102 10025 aaronmk
		make inputs/upload live=1
103 14077 aaronmk
		make test by_col=1 # runtime: 1 h ("53m7.383s") @starscream
104 10549 aaronmk
			if you encounter errors, they are most likely related to the
105
				PostgreSQL error parsing in /lib/sql.py parse_exception()
106 8458 aaronmk
			See note under Testing below
107 14887 aaronmk
	-> Maintenance > to back up the vegbiendev databases > back up Postgres
108 13284 aaronmk
	ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
109 8458 aaronmk
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
110 12998 aaronmk
	up
111 8458 aaronmk
	make inputs/download
112 10025 aaronmk
	make inputs/download live=1
113 8458 aaronmk
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
114
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
115 12226 aaronmk
		**WARNING**: requires sudo access!
116 8458 aaronmk
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
117
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
118
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
119
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
120
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
121 13009 aaronmk
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
122 13016 aaronmk
	restart Postgres to free up any disk space used by temp tables from the last
123
		import (this is apparently not automatically reclaimed):
124
		make postgres_restart
125 13022 aaronmk
	Make sure there is at least 1 TB of disk space on /: df -h
126
		although the import schema itself is only 315 GB, Postgres uses
127 13023 aaronmk
			significant temporary space at the beginning of the import.
128 13028 aaronmk
			the total disk usage oscillates between 1.2 TB and the entire disk
129
			for the first day (for import started @12:55:09, high-water marks of
130 13031 aaronmk
			1.7 TB @14:00:25, 1.8 TB @15:38:32; then next day w/ 2 datasources
131
			running: entire disk for 4 min @05:35:44, 1.8 TB @11:15:05).
132 8458 aaronmk
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
133
			List backups/ to view older backups
134
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
135
			Remove these backups
136 14895 aaronmk
	unlock hardlinked files:
137
		$ chmod ug+w inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/{map.csv,new_terms.csv,unmapped_terms.csv}
138 13423 aaronmk
	for full import:
139
		screen
140
		Press ENTER
141 14893 aaronmk
		unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
142 14087 aaronmk
	$0 # nested shell to prevent errexit from closing the window
143 13422 aaronmk
	the following must happen within screen to avoid affecting the outer shell:
144 13428 aaronmk
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes shell to exit even with background processes
145
	set -o ignoreeof # prevent Ctrl+D from exiting shell to keep attached jobs
146 13426 aaronmk
	on local machine:
147
		unset n # clear any limit set in .profile (unless desired)
148
		unset log # allow logging output to go to log files
149 13424 aaronmk
	unset version # clear any version from last import, etc.
150
	if no commits have been made since the last import (eg. if retrying an
151
		import), set a custom version that differs from the auto-assigned one
152
		(would otherwise cause a collision with the last import):
153
		svn info
154
		extract the svn revision after "Revision:"
155
		export version=r[revision]_2 # +suffix to distinguish from last import
156
			# env var will be inherited by `screen` shell
157 13119 aaronmk
	to import just a subset of the datasources:
158 13427 aaronmk
		declare -ax inputs; inputs=(inputs/{src,...}/) # no () in declare on Mac
159 13119 aaronmk
			# array vars *not* inherited by `screen` shell
160
		export version=custom_import_name
161 10579 aaronmk
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all
162
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=
163 8458 aaronmk
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
164 12226 aaronmk
		**WARNING**: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it
165
			creates won't be owned by your shell.
166 8458 aaronmk
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
167
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
168 12026 aaronmk
		To view progress:
169 14882 aaronmk
			tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
170 13020 aaronmk
	note: at the beginning of the import, the system may send out CPU load
171
		warning e-mails. these can safely be ignored. (they happen because the
172
		parallel imports use all the available cores.)
173 13425 aaronmk
	for test import, turn off DB backup (also turns off analytical DB creation):
174 13429 aaronmk
		kill % # cancel after_import()
175 10850 aaronmk
	Wait (4 days) for the import to finish
176 14197 aaronmk
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot while the import is running,
177
		due to continuously-changing files
178
	**WARNING**: do *not* run backups/pg_snapshot until the previous import has
179
		been replaced, to avoid running into disk space limits
180 8458 aaronmk
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
181 10583 aaronmk
	To restart an aborted import for a specific table:
182
		export version=<version>
183 11800 aaronmk
		(set -o errexit; make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/import_scrub by_col=1 continue=1; make inputs/<datasrc>/publish) &
184 10588 aaronmk
		bin/after_import $! & # $! can also be obtained from `jobs -l`
185 8458 aaronmk
	Get $version: echo $version
186
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
187 13017 aaronmk
	When there are no more running jobs, exit `screen`: exit # not Ctrl+D
188 13025 aaronmk
	upload logs: make inputs/upload live=1
189 10025 aaronmk
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs live=1
190 13030 aaronmk
	check for disk space errors:
191 14882 aaronmk
		grep --files-with-matches -F 'No space left on device' inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
192 13030 aaronmk
		if there are any matches:
193
			manually reimport these datasources using the steps under
194
				Single datasource import
195
			bin/after_import &
196
			wait for the import to finish
197 14882 aaronmk
	tail inputs/{.[^as.],}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
198 13029 aaronmk
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
199
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
200
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
201
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
202
	Otherwise, continue
203 8458 aaronmk
	In PostgreSQL:
204 11568 aaronmk
		Go to wiki.vegpath.org/VegBIEN_contents
205 11728 aaronmk
		Get the # observations
206
		Get the # datasources
207
		Get the # datasources with observations
208 11892 aaronmk
		in the r# schema:
209 11569 aaronmk
		Check that analytical_stem contains [# observations] rows
210 12148 aaronmk
		Check that source contains [# datasources] rows up through XAL. If this
211
			is not the case, manually check the entries in source against the
212
			datasources list on the wiki page (some datasources may be near the
213
			end depending on import order).
214 11568 aaronmk
		Check that provider_count contains [# datasources with observations]
215
			rows with dataset="(total)" (at the top when the table is unsorted)
216 9492 aaronmk
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
217
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
218
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
219
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":

325 11019 aaronmk
		"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/{Makefile,run,table.run} inputs/<datasrc>/
326 8458 aaronmk
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
327
		For .sql exports:
328
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
329
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
330
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
331 13284 aaronmk
			ssh -t vegbiendev.nceas.ucsb.edu exec sudo -u aaronmk -i
332 8458 aaronmk
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
333 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
334
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
335
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
336 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
337
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
338
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
339
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
340
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
341
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
342
	For MS Access databases:
343
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
344 14661 aaronmk
		Download and install Bullzip's MS Access to PostgreSQL from
345
			http://bullzip.com/download.php > Access To PostgreSQL > Download
346 8458 aaronmk
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
347
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
348 14662 aaronmk
				using the settings in the associated .ini file where available
349
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql using the
350
				settings in the associated .ini file where available
351 8458 aaronmk
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
352 14813 aaronmk
			Replace text "^CREATE DATABASE .*?;$" with "/*$0*/"
353 8458 aaronmk
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
354
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
355
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
356
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
357
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
358
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
359
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
360
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
361
			name must end in ".src"
362
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
363
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
364
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
365
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
366
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
367
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
368
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
369
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
370
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
371
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
372
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
373
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
374 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
375
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
376
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
377 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
378
			that depend on it
379 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
380
			"cp" -f inputs/.NCBI/nodes/run inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/
381
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/run
382 8458 aaronmk
	Install the staging tables:
383
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
384
		For a MySQL .sql export:
385
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
386
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
387
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
388
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
389
			tail provides a header line with the filename
390
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
391
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
392
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
393
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
394
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
395
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
396
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
397
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
398
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
399
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
400
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
401
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
402
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
403
				Save
404
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
405
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
406
	Map each table's columns:
407
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
408
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
409
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
410
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
411
				left column of the core map
412
			Save
413
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
414
	Accept the test cases:
415 11018 aaronmk
		For a new-style datasource:
416
			inputs/<datasrc>/run
417
			svn di inputs/<datasrc>/*/test.xml.ref
418
			If you get errors, follow the steps for old-style datasources below
419
		For an old-style datasource:
420
			make inputs/<datasrc>/test
421 8458 aaronmk
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
422
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
423
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
424
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
425
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
426
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
427
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
428
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
429
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
430
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
431
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
432
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
433
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
434
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
435
	Update vegbiendev:
436 12396 aaronmk

	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
626
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
627
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
628
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
629
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
630
		Linux and Mac OS X.

	Refactoring tips:
732
		To rename a table:
733
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
734
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
735
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
736
				Search for <new>
737
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
738
		To rename a column:
739
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
740
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
741
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
742
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
743
		Determine the poster size:
744
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
745
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
746
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
747
			Zoom in as far as possible
748
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
749
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
750
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
751
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
752
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
753
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
754
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
755
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
756
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
757
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
758
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
759
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
760
		Determine the cost:
761
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
762
				charges the following for posters:
763
				base: $7.25/sq ft
764
				lamination: $3/sq ft
765
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

	Mapping process: make test
774
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
775
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
776
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
777
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
778
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
779
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
780
			the appropriate null value to use.
