35
			then rerun with env l=1 ...
36
	VegCore data dictionary:
37
		Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
38
			(https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
39
			is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
40
			make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
41
			svn di mappings/VegCore.tables.redmine
42
			If there are changes, update the data dictionary's Tables section
43
			When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
44
			svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki"
45
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
46
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
47
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
48
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
49
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
50
		Linux and Mac OS X.
51

    
52
Single datasource import:
53
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1
54
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1
55
	(Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1
56
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
57

    
58
Full database import:
59
	On jupiter: svn up
60
	On local machine:
61
		./fix_perms
62
		make inputs/upload
63
		make test by_col=1
64
			See note under Testing below
65
	On vegbiendev:
66
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
67
	svn up
68
	make inputs/download
69
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
70
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
71
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
72
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
73
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
74
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
75
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
76
	Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
77
		The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
78
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
79
			List backups/ to view older backups
80
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
81
			Remove these backups
82
	unset version
83
	screen
84
	Press ENTER
85
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
86
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
87
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
88
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
89
			won't be owned by your shell.
90
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
91
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
92
	Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
93
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
94
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
95
	Get $version: echo $version
96
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
97
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
98
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
99
	In PostgreSQL:
100
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
101
			inputs
102
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
103
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
104
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
105
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
106
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
107
	Otherwise, continue
108
	make schemas/$version/publish
109
	unset version
110
	backups/fix_perms
111
	make backups/upload
112
	On jupiter:
113
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
114
		For each newly-archived backup:
115
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
116
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
117
	On nimoy:
118
		cd /home/bien/svn/
119
		svn up
120
		export version=<version>
121
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
122
		In the bien_web DB:
123
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
124
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
125
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
126
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
127
		env table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
128
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
129
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
130
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
131
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
132
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
133
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
134
				now in the copied tab instead
135
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
136
		export version=<version>
137
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
138
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
139
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
140
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
141
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
142
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
143
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
144
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
145
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
146
	To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
147
		export version=<version>
148
		To view progress:
149
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
150
	To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
151
		export version=<version>
152
		To view progress:
153
			tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
154
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
155
		export version=<version>
156
		If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
157
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
158

    
159
Backups:
160
	Archived imports:
161
		Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
162
			Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
163
				make schemas/rotate
164
		Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
165
		Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
166
		Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
167
		Download: make backups/download
168
	TNRS cache:
169
		Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
170
		Restore:
171
			yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
172
			make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
173
			yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
174
				Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
175
	Full DB:
176
		Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
177
		Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
178
		Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
179
		Download: make backups/download
180
	Import logs:
181
		Download: make inputs/download-logs
182

    
183
Datasource setup:
184
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
185
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
186
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
187
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
188
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
189
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
190
		For .sql exports:
191
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
192
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
193
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
194
			On vegbiendev:
195
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
196
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
197
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
198
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
199
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
200
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
201
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
202
	For MS Access databases:
203
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
204
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
205
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
206
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
207
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
208
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
209
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
210
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
211
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
212
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
213
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
214
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
215
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
216
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
217
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
218
			name must end in ".src"
219
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
220
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
221
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
222
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
223
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
224
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
225
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
226
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
227
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
228
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
229
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
230
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
231
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
232
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
233
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
234
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
235
			that depend on it
236
	Install the staging tables:
237
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
238
		For a MySQL .sql export:
239
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
240
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
241
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
242
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
243
			tail provides a header line with the filename
244
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
245
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
246
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
247
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
248
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
249
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
250
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
251
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
252
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
253
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
254
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
255
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
256
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
257
				Save
258
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
259
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
260
	Map each table's columns:
261
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
262
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
263
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
264
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
265
				left column of the core map
266
			Save
267
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
268
	Accept the test cases:
269
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
270
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
271
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
272
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
273
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
274
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
275
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
276
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
277
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
278
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
279
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
280
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
281
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
282
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
283
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
284
	Update vegbiendev:
285
		On jupiter: svn up
286
		On local machine:
287
			./fix_perms
288
			make inputs/upload
289
		On vegbiendev:
290
			svn up
291
			make inputs/download
292
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
293

341
	Refactoring tips:
342
		To rename a table:
343
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
344
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
345
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
346
				Search for <new>
347
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
348
		To rename a column:
349
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
350
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
351
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
352
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
353
		Determine the poster size:
354
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
355
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
356
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
357
			Zoom in as far as possible
358
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
359
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
360
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
361
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
362
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
363
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
364
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
365
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
366
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
367
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
368
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
369
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
370
		Determine the cost:
371
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
372
				charges the following for posters:
373
				base: $7.25/sq ft
374
				lamination: $3/sq ft
375
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft
376

    
377
Testing:
378
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
379
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
380
		export log= n=2
381
	Mapping process: make test
382
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
383
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
384
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
385
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
386
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
387
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
388
			the appropriate null value to use.
389
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
390
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
391
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all
392

    
393
Debugging:
394
	"Binary chop" debugging:
395
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
396
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
397
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
398
	.htaccess:
399
