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 100GB, 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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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/$version/publish
70
    unset version
71
    sudo backups/fix_perms
72
    make backups/upload
73
    On jupiter:
74
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
75
        For each newly-archived backup:
76
            make <backup>.md5/test
77
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
78
    On nimoy:
79
        cd /home/bien/svn/
80
        svn up
81
        export version=<version>
82
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
83
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
84
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
85
        In the bien_web DB:
86
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
87
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
88
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
89
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
90
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
91
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
92
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
93
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
94
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
95
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
96
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
97
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
98
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
99
            until they do
100

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

    Import logs:
127
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
128

    
129
Datasource setup:
130
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
131
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
132
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
133
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
134
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
135
        For .sql exports:
136
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
137
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
138
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
139
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
140
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
141
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
142
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
143
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
144
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
145
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
146
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
147
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
148
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
149
            name must end in ".src"
150
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
151
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
152
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
153
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
154
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
155
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
156
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
157
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
158
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
159
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
160
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
161
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
162
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
163
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
164
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
165
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
166
            that depend on it
167
    Install the staging tables:
168
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
169
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
170
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
171
            tail provides a header line with the filename
172
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
173
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
174
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
175
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
176
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
177
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
178
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
179
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
180
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
181
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
182
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
183
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
184
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
185
                Save
186
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
187
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
188
    Map each table's columns:
189
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
190
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
191
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
192
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
193
                left column of the core map
194
            Save
195
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
196
    Accept the test cases:
197
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
198
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
199
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
200
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
201
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
202
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
203
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
204
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
205
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
206
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
207
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
208
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
209
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
210
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
211
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

264
    Refactoring tips:
265
        To rename a table:
266
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
267
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
268
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
269
                Search for <new>
270
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
271
        To rename a column:
272
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
273
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
274
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
275
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
276
        Determine the poster size:
277
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
278
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
279
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
280
            Zoom in as far as possible
281
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
282
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
283
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
284
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
285
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
286
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
287
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
288
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
289
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
290
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
291
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
292
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
293
        Determine the cost:
294
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
295
                charges the following for posters:
296
                base: $7.25/sq ft
297
                lamination: $3/sq ft
298
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
299

Testing:
301
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
302
        export log= n=2
303
    Mapping process: make test
304
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
305
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
306
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
307
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
308
