    Check out svn: svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien
3
    cd bien/
4
    Install: make install

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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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
    screen
57
    Press ENTER
58
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
59
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
60
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
61
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
62
            won't be owned by your shell.
63
        Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
64
            and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
65
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
66
    To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
67
    When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
68
    Get $version: echo $version
69
    Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
70
    Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
71
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
72
    In PostgreSQL:
73
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
74
            inputs
75
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
76
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
77
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
78
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
79
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
80
    Otherwise, continue
81
    make schemas/$version/publish
82
    unset version
83
    backups/fix_perms
84
    make backups/upload
85
    On jupiter:
86
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
87
        For each newly-archived backup:
88
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
89
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
90
    On nimoy:
91
        cd /home/bien/svn/
92
        svn up
93
        export version=<version>
94
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
95
        In the bien_web DB:
96
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
97
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
98
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
99
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
100
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
101
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
102
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
103
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
104
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
105
        export version=<version>
106
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
107
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
108
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
109
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
110
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
111
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
112
            until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
113
            tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
114
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
115
    To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
116
        To view progress:
117
            tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
118
    To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
119
        To view progress:
120
            tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
121
    To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
122
        export version=<version>
123
        If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
124
        make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
125

    
126
Backups:
127
    Archived imports:
128
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
129
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
130
                make schemas/rotate
131
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
132
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
133
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
134
        Download: make backups/download
135
    TNRS cache:
136
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
137
        Restore:
138
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
139
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
140
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
141
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
142
    Full DB:
143
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
144
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
145
        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
146
        Download: make backups/download
147
    Import logs:
148
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
149

    
150
Datasource setup:
151
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
152
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
153
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
154
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
155
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
156
        For .sql exports:
157
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
158
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
159
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
160
            On vegbiendev:
161
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
162
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
163
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
164
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
165
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
166
            For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
167
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
168
    For MS Access databases:
169
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
170
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
171
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
172
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
173
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
174
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
175
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
176
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
177
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
178
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
179
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
180
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
181
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
182
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
183
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
184
            name must end in ".src"
185
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
186
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
187
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
188
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
189
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
190
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
191
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
192
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
193
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
194
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
195
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
196
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
197
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
198
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
199
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
200
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
201
            that depend on it
202
    Install the staging tables:
203
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
204
            For a MySQL .sql export, this must be done on vegbiendev
205
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
206
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
207
            tail provides a header line with the filename
208
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
209
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
210
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
211
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
212
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
213
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
214
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
215
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
216
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
217
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
218
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
219
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
220
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
221
                Save
222
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
223
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
224
    Map each table's columns:
225
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
226
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
227
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
228
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
229
                left column of the core map
230
            Save
231
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
232
    Accept the test cases:
233
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
234
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
235
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
236
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
237
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
238
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
239
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
240
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
241
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
242
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
243
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
244
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
245
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
246
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
247
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
306
        To rename a table:
307
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
308
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
309
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
310
                Search for <new>
311
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
312
        To rename a column:
313
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
314
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
315
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
316
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
317
        Determine the poster size:
318
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
319
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
320
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
321
            Zoom in as far as possible
322
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
323
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
324
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
325
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
326
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
327
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
328
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
329
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
330
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
331
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
332
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
333
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
334
        Determine the cost:
335
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
336
                charges the following for posters:
337
                base: $7.25/sq ft
338
                lamination: $3/sq ft
339
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
340

Testing:
342
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
343
        export log= n=2
344
    Mapping process: make test
345
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
346
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
347
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
348
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
349
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
350
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
351
            the appropriate null value to use.
352
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
353
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
354
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
355

    
356
Debugging:
357
    "Binary chop" debugging:
358
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
359
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
360
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
361

    
362
WinMerge setup:
363
    Install WinMerge from <http://winmerge.org/>
364
    Open WinMerge
365
    Go to Edit > Options and click Compare in the left sidebar
366
    Enable "Moved block detection", as described at
367
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5892>.
368
    Set Whitespace to Ignore change, as described at
369
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5758>.
