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 jupiter: svn up
33
    On local machine:
34
        ./fix_perms
35
        make inputs/upload
36
        make test by_col=1
37
            See note under Testing below
38
    On vegbiendev:
39
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
40
    svn up
41
    make inputs/download
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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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
            (takes 90 s with LIMIT 1)
70
        Check that there are taxondeterminations whose source_id is
71
            source_by_shortname('TNRS')
72
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
73
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
74
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
75
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
76
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
77
    Otherwise, continue
78
    make schemas/$version/publish
79
    unset version
80
    sudo backups/fix_perms
81
    make backups/upload
82
    On jupiter:
83
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
84
        For each newly-archived backup:
85
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
86
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
87
    On nimoy:
88
        cd /home/bien/svn/
89
        svn up
90
        export version=<version>
91
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
92
        In the bien_web DB:
93
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
94
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
95
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
96
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
97
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
98
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
99
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
100
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
101
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
102
        export version=<version>
103
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
104
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
105
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
106
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
107
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
108
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
109
            until they do

    Archived imports:
120
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
121
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
122
                make schemas/rotate
123
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
124
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
125
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove

139
    Import logs:
140
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
141

    
142
Datasource setup:
143
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
144
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
145
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
146
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
147
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
148
        For .sql exports:
149
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
150
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
151
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
152
            On vegbiendev:
153
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
154
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
155
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
156
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
157
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
158
            For a .sql export, use your local MySQL DB
159
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
160
    For MS Access databases:
161
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
162
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
163
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
164
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
165
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
166
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
167
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
168
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
169
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
170
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
171
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
172
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
173
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
174
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
175
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
176
            name must end in ".src"
177
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
178
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
179
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
180
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
181
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
182
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
183
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
184
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
185
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
186
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
187
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
188
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
189
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
190
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
191
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
192
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
193
            that depend on it
194
    Install the staging tables:
195
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
196
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
197
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
198
            tail provides a header line with the filename
199
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
200
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
201
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
202
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
203
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
204
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
205
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
206
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
207
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
208
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
209
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
210
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
211
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
212
                Save
213
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
214
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
215
    Map each table's columns:
216
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
217
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
218
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
219
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
220
                left column of the core map
221
            Save
222
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
223
    Accept the test cases:
224
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
225
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
226
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
227
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
228
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
229
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
230
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
231
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
232
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
233
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
234
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
235
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
236
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
237
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
238
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
298
        To rename a table:
299
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
300
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
301
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
302
                Search for <new>
303
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
304
        To rename a column:
305
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
306
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
307
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
308
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
309
        Determine the poster size:
310
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
311
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
312
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
313
            Zoom in as far as possible
314
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
315
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
316
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
317
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
318
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
319
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
320
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
321
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
322
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
323
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
324
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
325
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
326
        Determine the cost:

            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
328
                charges the following for posters:
329
                base: $7.25/sq ft
330
                lamination: $3/sq ft
331
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
334
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
335
        export log= n=2
336
    Mapping process: make test
337
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
338
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
339
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
340
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
341
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
342
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
343
            the appropriate null value to use.
344
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
345
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
346
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
347

Debugging:
349
    "Binary chop" debugging:
350
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
351
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
352
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
353
