Installation:
2
    Check out svn: svn co https://code.nceas.ucsb.edu/code/projects/bien
3
    cd bien/
4
    Install: make install
5
        WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
6
    Uninstall: make uninstall

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
            svn di mappings/VegCore.tables.redmine
17
            If there are changes, update the data dictionary's Tables section
18
            When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
19
            svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki"
20
    Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
21
        any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
22
        server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
23
        is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
24
        to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
25
        Linux and Mac OS X.
26

    
27
Single datasource import:
28
    (Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1
29
    (Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1
30
    (Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1
31
    Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
32

    
33
Full database import:
34
    On jupiter: svn up
35
    On local machine:
36
        ./fix_perms
37
        make inputs/upload
38
        make test by_col=1
39
            See note under Testing below
40
    On vegbiendev:
41
    Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
42
    svn up
43
    make inputs/download
44
    For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
45
    Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
46
        The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
47
    Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
48
        make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
49
        To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
50
            export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
51
    Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
52
        The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
53
        To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
54
            List backups/ to view older backups
55
            Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
56
            Remove these backups
57
    unset version
58
    screen
59
    Press ENTER
60
    Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
61
        To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
62
        To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
63
        WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
64
            won't be owned by your shell.
65
        Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
66
            and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
67
    Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
68
    To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
69
    When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
70
    Get $version: echo $version
71
    Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
72
    Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
73
    On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
74
    In PostgreSQL:
75
        Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
76
            inputs
77
    tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
78
    In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
79
    For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
80
    If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
81
        make schemas/$version/uninstall
82
    Otherwise, continue
83
    make schemas/$version/publish
84
    unset version
85
    backups/fix_perms
86
    make backups/upload
87
    On jupiter:
88
        cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
89
        For each newly-archived backup:
90
            make -s <backup>.md5/test
91
            Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
92
    On nimoy:
93
        cd /home/bien/svn/
94
        svn up
95
        export version=<version>
96
        make backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv/download
97
        In the bien_web DB:
98
            Create the analytical_aggregate_<version> table using its schema
99
                in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
100
        make -s backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv.md5/test
101
        Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
102
        env table=analytical_aggregate_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
103
            backups/analytical_aggregate.$version.csv
104
    If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
105
        Open inputs/import.stats.xls
106
        Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
107
        export version=<version>
108
        bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
109
        Update the import date in the upper-right corner
110
        bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
111
        Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
112
            row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
113
        If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
114
            until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
115
            tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
116
        Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
117
    To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
118
        export version=<version>
119
        To view progress:
120
            tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
121
    To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
122
        export version=<version>
123
        To view progress:
124
            tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
125
    To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
126
        export version=<version>
127
        If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
128
        make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
129

    
130
Backups:
131
    Archived imports:
132
        Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
133
            Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
134
                make schemas/rotate
135
        Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
136
        Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
137
        Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
138
        Download: make backups/download
139
    TNRS cache:
140
        Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
141
        Restore:
142
            yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
143
            make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
144
            yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
145
                Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
146
    Full DB:
147
        Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
148
        Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
149
        Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
150
        Download: make backups/download
151
    Import logs:
152
        Download: make inputs/download-logs
153

    
154
Datasource setup:
155
    Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
156
        <datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
157
        If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
158
            as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
159
    For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
160
        For .sql exports:
161
            Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
162
            Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
163
                This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
164
            On vegbiendev:
165
                Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
166
                bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
167
        mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
168
        cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
169
        Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
170
            For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
171
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
172
    For MS Access databases:
173
        Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
174
        Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
175
            http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
176
        Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
177
            Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
178
            Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
179
        In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
180
            Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
181
            Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
182
        Skip the Add input data for each table section
183
    Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
184
        For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
185
        For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
186
            name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
187
        Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
188
            name must end in ".src"
189
        make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
190
            Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
191
                This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
192
        If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
193
            Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
194
            inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
195
            together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
196
        Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
197
            that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
198
            preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
199
        If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
200
            in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
201
             (If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
202
             assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
203
             subsequent headers as data rows.)
204
        Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
205
            that depend on it
206
    Install the staging tables:
207
        make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
208
            For a MySQL .sql export, this must be done on vegbiendev
209
        To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
210
        View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
211
            tail provides a header line with the filename
212
            +1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
213
        For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
214
            Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
215
                Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
216
                    "_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
217
                Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
218
                Add an ! at the beginning of the line
219
                    This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
220
                For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
221
                For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
222
                For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
223
                Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
224
                    map spreadsheets (below) are for.
225
                Save
226
        If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
227
    Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
228
    Map each table's columns:
229
        In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
230
            Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
231
            Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
232
            In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
233
                left column of the core map
234
            Save
235
        Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
236
    Accept the test cases:
237
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test
238
            When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
239
            If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
240
            -   If the error was due to a bug, fix it
241
            -   Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
242
            -   Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
243
                Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
244
                prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
245
            When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
246
                (see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
247
        make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
248
            If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
249
                the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
250
    Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
251
    Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/

    Refactoring tips:
310
        To rename a table:
311
            In vegbien.sql, do the following:
312
                Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
313
                    This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
314
                Search for <new>
315
                Manually change back any replacements inside comments
316
        To rename a column:
317
            Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;

            Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
319
                This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
320
    Creating a poster of the ERD:
321
        Determine the poster size:
322
            Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
323
                of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
324
            Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
325
            Zoom in as far as possible
326
            Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
327
            Measure the line height: 8.5mm
328
            Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
329
            Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
330
            Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
331
                0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
332
            Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
333
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
334
                0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
335
            The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
336
            Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
337
            The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
338
        Determine the cost:
339
            The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
340
                charges the following for posters:
341
                base: $7.25/sq ft
342
                lamination: $3/sq ft
343
                mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
344

    
345
Testing:
346
    On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
347
        export log= n=2
348
    Mapping process: make test
349
        Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
350
            If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
351
            row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
352
            (the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
353
            This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
354
            a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
355
            the appropriate null value to use.
356
    Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
357
    Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
358
    Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

Debugging:
361
    "Binary chop" debugging:
362
        (This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
363
        revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
364
        svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
