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 by_col=1
27
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1
28
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1
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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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
    Get $version: echo $version
65
    Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
66
    Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
67
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
68
    In PostgreSQL:
69
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
70
            inputs
71
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$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
    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.$version.csv/download
91
        In the bien_web DB:
92
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
93
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
94
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
95
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
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. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
109
            tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
110
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
111
    To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
112
        To view progress:
113
            tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
114
    To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
115
        To view progress:
116
            tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
117
    To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
118
        export version=<version>
119
        If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
120
        make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
121

    
122
Backups:
123
    Archived imports:
124
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
125
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
126
                make schemas/rotate
127
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
128
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
129
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
130
        Download: make backups/download
131
    TNRS cache:
132
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
133
        Restore:
134
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
135
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
136
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
137
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
138
    Full DB:
139
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
140
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
141
        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
142
        Download: make backups/download
143
    Import logs:
144
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
145

    
146
Datasource setup:
147
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
148
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
149
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
150
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
151
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
152
        For .sql exports:
153
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
154
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
155
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
156
            On vegbiendev:
157
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
158
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
159
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
160
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
161
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
162
            For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
163
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
164
    For MS Access databases:
165
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
166
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
167
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
168
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
169
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
170
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
171
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
172
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
173
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
174
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
175
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
176
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
177
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
178
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
179
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
180
            name must end in ".src"
181
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
182
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
183
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
184
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
185
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
186
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
187
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
188
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
189
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
190
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
191
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
192
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
193
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
194
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
195
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
196
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
197
            that depend on it
198
    Install the staging tables:
199
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
200
            For a MySQL .sql export, this must be done on vegbiendev
201
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
202
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
203
            tail provides a header line with the filename
204
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
205
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
206
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
207
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
208
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
209
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
210
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
211
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
212
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
213
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
214
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
215
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
216
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
217
                Save
218
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
219
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
220
    Map each table's columns:
221
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
222
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
223
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
224
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
225
                left column of the core map
226
            Save
227
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
228
    Accept the test cases:
229
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
230
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
231
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
232
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
233
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
234
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
235
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
236
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
237
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
238
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
239
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
240
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
241
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
242
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
243
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
302
        To rename a table:
303
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
304
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
305
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
306
                Search for <new>
307
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
308
        To rename a column:
309
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
310
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
311
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
312
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
313
        Determine the poster size:
314
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
315
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
316
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
317
            Zoom in as far as possible
318
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
319
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
320
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
321
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
322
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
323
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
324
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
325
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
326
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
327
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
328
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
329
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait

            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
332
                charges the following for posters:
333
                base: $7.25/sq ft
334
                lamination: $3/sq ft
335
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
338
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
339
        export log= n=2
340
    Mapping process: make test
341
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
342
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
343
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
344
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
345
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
346
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
347
            the appropriate null value to use.
348
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
349
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
350
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

353
    "Binary chop" debugging:
354
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
355
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
356
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
