    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        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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/$version.log.sql
114
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
115
    To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
116
        export version=<version>
117
        To view progress:
118
            tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
119
    To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
120
        export version=<version>
121
        To view progress:
122
            tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
123
    To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
124
        export version=<version>
125
        If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
126
        make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
127

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

    Full DB:
145
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
146
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
147
        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
148
        Download: make backups/download
149
    Import logs:
150
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
151

    
152
Datasource setup:
153
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
154
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
155
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
156
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
157
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
158
        For .sql exports:
159
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
160
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
161
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
162
            On vegbiendev:
163
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
164
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
165
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
166
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
167
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
168
            For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
169
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
170
    For MS Access databases:
171
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
172
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
173
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
174
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
175
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
176
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
177
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
178
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
179
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
180
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
181
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
182
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
183
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
184
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
185
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
186
            name must end in ".src"
187
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
188
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
189
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
190
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
191
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
192
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
193
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
194
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
195
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
196
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
197
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
198
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
199
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
200
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
201
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
202
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
203
            that depend on it
204
    Install the staging tables:
205
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
206
            For a MySQL .sql export, this must be done on vegbiendev
207
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
208
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
209
            tail provides a header line with the filename
210
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
211
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
212
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
213
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
214
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
215
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
216
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
217
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
218
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
219
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
220
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
221
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
222
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
223
                Save
224
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
225
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
226
    Map each table's columns:
227
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
228
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
229
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
230
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
231
                left column of the core map
232
            Save
233
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
234
    Accept the test cases:
235
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
236
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
237
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
238
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
239
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
240
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
241
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
242
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
243
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
244
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
245
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
246
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
247
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
248
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
249
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
308
        To rename a table:
309
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
310
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
311
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
312
                Search for <new>
313
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
314
        To rename a column:
315
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
316
            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
317
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
318
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
319
        Determine the poster size:
320
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
321
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
322
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
323
            Zoom in as far as possible
324
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
325
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
326
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
327
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
328
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
329
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
330
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
331
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
332
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
333
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
334
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
335
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
336
        Determine the cost:
337
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
338
                charges the following for posters:
339
                base: $7.25/sq ft
340
                lamination: $3/sq ft
341
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
342

    
343
Testing:
344
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
345
        export log= n=2
346
    Mapping process: make test
347
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
348
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
349
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
350
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
351
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
352
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
353
            the appropriate null value to use.
354
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
355
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
356
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
357

    
358
Debugging:
359
    "Binary chop" debugging:
360
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
361
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
362
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
363

    
364
WinMerge setup:
365
    Install WinMerge from <http://winmerge.org/>
366
    Open WinMerge
367
    Go to Edit > Options and click Compare in the left sidebar
368
    Enable "Moved block detection", as described at
369
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5892>.
370
    Set Whitespace to Ignore change, as described at
371
        <http://manual.winmerge.org/Configuration.html#d0e5758>.

Documentation:
374
    To generate a Redmine-formatted list of steps for column-based import:
375
        make schemas/public/reinstall
376
        make inputs/ACAD/Specimen/logs/steps.by_col.log.sql
377
    To import and scrub just the test taxonomic names:
