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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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:
62
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
63
            inputs
64
        Check that unscrubbed_taxondetermination_view returns no rows
65
        Check that there are taxondeterminations whose source_id is
66
            source_by_shortname('TNRS')
67
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
68
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
69
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
70
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
71
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
72
    Otherwise, continue
73
    make schemas/$version/publish
74
    unset version
75
    sudo backups/fix_perms
76
    make backups/upload
77
    On jupiter:
78
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
79
        For each newly-archived backup:
80
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
81
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
82
    On nimoy:
83
        cd /home/bien/svn/
84
        svn up
85
        export version=<version>
86
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
87
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
88
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
89
        In the bien_web DB:
90
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
91
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
92
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
93
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
94
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
95
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
96
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
97
        export version=<version>
98
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
99
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
100
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
101
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
102
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
103
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
104
            until they do
105
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
106
    To scrub unscrubbed taxondeterminations: make scrub by_col=1 &
107

Backups:
114
    Archived imports:
115
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
116
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
117
                make schemas/rotate
118
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
119
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
120
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
121
        Download: make backups/download
122
    TNRS cache:
123
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
124
        Restore:
125
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
126
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
127
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
128
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
129
    Full DB:
130
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
131
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &

        Download: make backups/download
134
    Import logs:
135
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
136

    
137
Datasource setup:
138
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
139
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
140
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
141
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
142
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
143
        For .sql exports:
144
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
145
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
146
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
147
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
148
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
149
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
150
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
151
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
152
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
153
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
154
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
155
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
156
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
157
            name must end in ".src"
158
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
159
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
160
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
161
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
162
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
163
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
164
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
165
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
166
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
167
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
168
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
169
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
170
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
171
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
172
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
173
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
174
            that depend on it
175
    Install the staging tables:
176
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
177
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
178
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
179
            tail provides a header line with the filename
180
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
181
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
182
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
183
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
184
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
185
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
186
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
187
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
188
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
189
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
190
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
191
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
192
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
193
                Save
194
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
195
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
196
    Map each table's columns:
197
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
198
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
199
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
200
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
201
                left column of the core map
202
            Save
203
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
204
    Accept the test cases:
205
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
206
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
207
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
208
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
209
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
210
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
211
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
212
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
213
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
214
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
215
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
216
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
217
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
218
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
219

    Refactoring tips:
275
        To rename a table:
276
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
277
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
278
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
279
                Search for <new>
280
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
281
        To rename a column:
282
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
283
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
284
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
285
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
286
        Determine the poster size:
287
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
288
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
289
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
290
            Zoom in as far as possible
291
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
292
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
293
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
294
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
295
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
296
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
297
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
298
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
299
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
300
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
301
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
302
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
303
        Determine the cost:
304
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
305
                charges the following for posters:
306
                base: $7.25/sq ft
307

Testing:
311
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
312
        export log= n=2
313
    Mapping process: make test
314
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
315
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
316
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
317
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
318
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
319
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
320
            the appropriate null value to use.
321
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
322
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
323
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
324

Debugging:
326
    "Binary chop" debugging:
327
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
328
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
329
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
