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: svn di
17
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki"
18
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
19
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
20
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
21
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
22
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
23
        Linux and Mac OS X.
24

    
25
Single datasource import:
26
    (Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub
27
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport
28
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub
29
    Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
30

    
31
Full database import:
32
    On local machine:
33
        make inputs/upload
34
        make test by_col=1
35
            See note under Testing below
36
    On vegbiendev:
37
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
38
    svn up
39
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
40
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
41
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
42
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
43
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
44
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
45
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
46
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
47
        The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
48
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
49
            List backups/ to view older backups
50
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
51
            Remove these backups
52
    unset version
53
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
54
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
55
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
56
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
57
            won't be owned by your shell.
58
        Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
59
            and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
60
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
61
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
62
    In PostgreSQL:
63
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
64
            inputs
65
        Check that unscrubbed_taxondetermination_view returns no rows
66
        Check that there are taxondeterminations whose source_id is
67
            source_by_shortname('TNRS')
68
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
69
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
70
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
71
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
72
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
73
    Otherwise, continue
74
    make schemas/$version/publish
75
    unset version
76
    sudo backups/fix_perms
77
    make backups/upload
78
    On jupiter:
79
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
80
        For each newly-archived backup:
81
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
82
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
83
    On nimoy:
84
        cd /home/bien/svn/
85
        svn up
86
        export version=<version>
87
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
88
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
89
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
90
        In the bien_web DB:
91
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
92
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
93
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
94
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
95
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
96
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
97
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
98
        export version=<version>
99
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
100
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
101
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
102
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
103
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
104
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
105
            until they do
106
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
107
    To scrub unscrubbed taxondeterminations: make scrub by_col=1 &

Backups:
115
    Archived imports:
116
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
117
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
118
                make schemas/rotate
119
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
120
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
121
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
122
        Download: make backups/download
123
    TNRS cache:
124
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
125
        Restore:
126
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
127
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
128
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
129
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
130
    Full DB:
131
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
132
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &

        Download: make backups/download
135
    Import logs:
136
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
137

    
138
Datasource setup:
139
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
140
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
141
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
142
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
143
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
144
        For .sql exports:
145
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
146
            Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
147
            mysql -p database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql
148
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
149
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
150
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
151
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
152
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
153
    For MS Access databases:
154
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
155
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
156
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
157
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
158
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
159
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
160
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
161
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
162
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
163
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
164
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
165
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
166
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
167
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
168
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
169
            name must end in ".src"
170
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
171
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
172
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
173
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
174
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
175
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
176
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
177
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
178
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
179
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
180
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
181
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
182
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
183
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
184
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
185
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
186
            that depend on it
187
    Install the staging tables:
188
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
189
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
190
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
191
            tail provides a header line with the filename
192
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
193
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
194
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
195
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
196
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
197
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
198
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
199
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
200
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
201
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
202
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
203
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
204
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
205
                Save
206
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
207
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
208
    Map each table's columns:
209
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
210
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
211
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
212
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
213
                left column of the core map
214
            Save
215
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
216
    Accept the test cases:
217
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
218
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
219
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
220
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
221
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
222
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
223
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
224
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
225
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
226
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
227
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
228
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
229
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
230
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
231
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
232

    Refactoring tips:
287
        To rename a table:
288
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
289
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
290
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
291
                Search for <new>
292
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
293
        To rename a column:
294
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
295
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
296
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
297
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
298
        Determine the poster size:
299
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
300
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
301
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
302
            Zoom in as far as possible
303
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
304
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
305
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
306
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
307
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
308
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
309
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
310
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
311
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
312
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
313
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
314
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
315
        Determine the cost:

            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
317
                charges the following for posters:
318
                base: $7.25/sq ft
319
                lamination: $3/sq ft
320
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
323
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
324
        export log= n=2
325
    Mapping process: make test
326
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
327
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
328
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
329
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
330
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
331
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
332
            the appropriate null value to use.
333
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
334
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
335
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
336

Debugging:
338
    "Binary chop" debugging:
339
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
340
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
341
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
342
