Maintenance:
11
    VegCore data dictionary:
12
        Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
13
            (https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
14
            is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
15
            make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
16
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.csv: Regenerated from wiki"
17
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
18
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
19
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
20
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
21
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
22
        Linux and Mac OS X.
23

    
24
Single datasource import:
25
    (Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub
26
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport
27
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub
28
    Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
29

    
30
Full database import:
31
    On local machine:
32
        make inputs/upload
33
        make test by_col=1
34
            See note under Testing below
35
    On vegbiendev:
36
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
37
    svn up
38
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
39
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
40
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
41
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
42
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
43
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
44
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
45
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
46
        The import schema is 110GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
47
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
48
            List backups/ to view older backups
49
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
50
            Remove these backups
51
    unset version
52
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
53
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
54
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
55
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
56
            won't be owned by your shell.
57
        Note that import_all will take several hours to import the NCBI backbone
58
            and TNRS names before returning control to the shell.
59
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
60
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
61
    In PostgreSQL, check that the provider_count and source tables contain
62
        entries for all inputs
63
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
64
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
65
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
66
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
67
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
68
    Otherwise, continue
69
    make schemas/$version/publish
70
    sudo backups/fix_perms
71
    make backups/upload
72
    On jupiter:
73
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
74
        For each newly-archived backup:
75
            make <backup>.md5/test
76
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
77
    On nimoy:
78
        cd /home/bien/svn/
79
        svn up
80
        export version=<version>
81
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
82
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
83
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
84
        In the bien_web DB:
85
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
86
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
87
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
88
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
89
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
90
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
91
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
92
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
93
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
94
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
95
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
96
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
97
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
98
            until they do
99
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
100
    To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
101
        To view progress:

Backups:
105
    Archived imports:
106
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
107
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
108
                make schemas/rotate
109
        Test: make backups/<version>.backup/test &
110
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
111
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
112
        Download: make backups/download
113
    TNRS cache:
114
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
115
        Restore:
116
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
117
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
118
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
119
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
120

124
        Download: make backups/download
125
    Import logs:
126
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
127

    
128
Datasource setup:
129
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
130
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
131
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
132
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
133
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
134
        For .sql exports:
135
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
136
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
137
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
138
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
139
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
140
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
141
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
142
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
143
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
144
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
145
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
146
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
147
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
148
            name must end in ".src"
149
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
150
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
151
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
152
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
153
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
154
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
155
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
156
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
157
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
158
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
159
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
160
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
161
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
162
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
163
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
164
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
165
            that depend on it
166
    Install the staging tables:
167
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
168
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
169
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
170
            tail provides a header line with the filename
171
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
172
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
173
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
174
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
175
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
176
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
177
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
178
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
179
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
180
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
181
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
182
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
183
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
184
                Save
185
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
186
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
187
    Map each table's columns:
188
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
189
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
190
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
191
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
192
                left column of the core map
193
            Save
194
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
195
    Accept the test cases:
196
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
197
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
198
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
199
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
200
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
201
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
202
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
203
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
204
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
205
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
206
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
207
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
208
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
209
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
210
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

263
    Refactoring tips:
264
        To rename a table:
265
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
266
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
267
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
268
                Search for <new>
269
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
270
        To rename a column:
271
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
272
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
273
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
274
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
275
        Determine the poster size:
276
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
277
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
278
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
279
            Zoom in as far as possible
280
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
281
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
282
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
283
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
284
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
285
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
286
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
287
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
288
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
289
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
290
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
291
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
292
        Determine the cost:
293
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
294
                charges the following for posters:
295
                base: $7.25/sq ft
296
                lamination: $3/sq ft
297
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
298

    
299
Testing:
300
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
301
        export log= n=2
302
    Mapping process: make test
303
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
304
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
305
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
306
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
307
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
