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
            When moving terms, check that no terms were lost:
17
                di mappings/VegCore.csv|grep ^+|wc -l
18
                di mappings/VegCore.csv|grep ^-|wc -l
19
                Check that the outputted counts are equal
20
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.csv: Regenerated from wiki"
21
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
22
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
23
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
24
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
25
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
26
        Linux and Mac OS X.
27

    
28
Single datasource import:
29
    (Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub
30
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport
31
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub
32
    Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
33

    
34
Full database import:
35
    On local machine:
36
        make inputs/upload
37
        make test by_col=1
38
            See note under Testing below
39
    On vegbiendev:
40
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
41
    svn up
42
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
43
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
44
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
45
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
46
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
47
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
48
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
49
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
50
        The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
51
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
52
            List backups/ to view older backups
53
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
54
            Remove these backups
55
    unset version
56
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
57
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
58
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
59
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
60
            won't be owned by your shell.
61
        Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
62
            and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
63
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
64
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
65
    In PostgreSQL:
66
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
67
            inputs
68
        Check that unscrubbed_taxondetermination_view returns no rows
69
        Check that there are taxondeterminations whose source_id is
70
            source_by_shortname('TNRS')
71
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
72
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
73
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
74
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
75
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
76
    Otherwise, continue
77
    make schemas/$version/publish
78
    unset version
79
    sudo backups/fix_perms
80
    make backups/upload
81
    On jupiter:
82
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
83
        For each newly-archived backup:
84
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
85
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
86
    On nimoy:
87
        cd /home/bien/svn/
88
        svn up
89
        export version=<version>
90
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
91
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
92
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
93
        In the bien_web DB:
94
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
95
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
96
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
97
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
98
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
99
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
100
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
101
        export version=<version>
102
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
103
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
104
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
105
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
106
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
107
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
108
            until they do
109
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"

Backups:
118
    Archived imports:
119
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
120
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
121
                make schemas/rotate
122
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
123
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
124
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
125
        Download: make backups/download
126
    TNRS cache:
127
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
128
        Restore:
129
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
130
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
131
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
132
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view

138
    Import logs:

        Download: make inputs/download-logs
140

    
141
Datasource setup:
142
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
143
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
144
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
145
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
146
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
147
        For .sql exports:
148
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
149
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
150
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
151
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
152
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
153
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
154
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
155
        Install the export according to Install the staging tables below
156
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
157
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
158
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
159
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
160
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
161
            name must end in ".src"
162
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
163
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
164
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
165
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
166
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
167
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
168
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
169
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
170
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
171
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
172
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
173
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
174
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
175
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
176
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
177
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
178
            that depend on it
179
    Install the staging tables:
180
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
181
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
182
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
183
            tail provides a header line with the filename
184
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
185
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
186
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
187
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
188
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
189
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
190
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
191
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
192
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
193
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
194
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
195
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
196
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
197
                Save
198
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
199
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
200
    Map each table's columns:
201
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
202
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
203
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
204
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
205
                left column of the core map
206
            Save
207
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
208
    Accept the test cases:
209
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
210
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
211
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
212
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
213
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
214
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
215
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
216
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
217
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
218
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
219
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
220
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
221
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
222
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
223
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

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

            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
309
                charges the following for posters:
310
                base: $7.25/sq ft
311
                lamination: $3/sq ft
312

Testing:
315
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
316
        export log= n=2
317
    Mapping process: make test
318
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
319
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
320
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
321
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
322
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
323
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
324
            the appropriate null value to use.
325
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
326
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
327
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
328

Debugging:
330
    "Binary chop" debugging:
331
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
332
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
333
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
