Maintenance:
11
	on a live machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
12
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
13
		unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even if background processes
14
	to synchronize vegbiendev, jupiter, and your local machine:
15
		install put if needed:
16
			download https://uutils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/bin/put to ~/bin/ and `chmod +x` it
17
		when changes are made on vegbiendev:

			then rerun with env l=1 ...
45
		start the PostgreSQL server
46
	VegCore data dictionary:
47
		Regularly, or whenever the VegCore data dictionary page
48
			(https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCore)
49
			is changed, regenerate mappings/VegCore.csv:
50
			make mappings/VegCore.htm-remake; make mappings/
51
			svn di mappings/VegCore.tables.redmine
52
			If there are changes, update the data dictionary's Tables section
53
			When moving terms, check that no terms were lost: svn di
54
			svn ci -m "mappings/VegCore.htm: Regenerated from wiki"
55
	Important: Whenever you install a system update that affects PostgreSQL or
56
		any of its dependencies, such as libc, you should restart the PostgreSQL
57
		server. Otherwise, you may get strange errors like "the database system
58
		is in recovery mode" which go away upon reimport, or you may not be able
59
		to access the database as the postgres superuser. This applies to both
60
		Linux and Mac OS X.
61

    
62
Single datasource import:
63
	(Re)import and scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport_scrub by_col=1
64
	(Re)import only: make inputs/<datasrc>/reimport by_col=1
65
	(Re)scrub: make inputs/<datasrc>/rescrub by_col=1
66
	Note that these commands also work if the datasource is not yet imported
67

    
68
Full database import:
69
	On jupiter: svn up
70
	On local machine:
71
		./fix_perms
72
		make inputs/upload
73
		make test by_col=1
74
			See note under Testing below
75
	On vegbiendev:
76
	Ensure there are no local modifications: svn st
77
	svn up
78
	make inputs/download
79
	For each newly-uploaded datasource above: make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall
80
	Update the auxiliary schemas: make schemas/reinstall
81
		The public schema will be installed separately by the import process
82
	Delete imports before the last so they won't bloat the full DB backup:
83
		make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/remove
84
		To keep a previous import other than the public schema:
85
			export dump_opts='--exclude-schema=public --exclude-schema=<version>'
86
	Make sure there is at least 150GB of disk space on /: df -h
87
		The import schema is 100GB, and may use additional space for temp tables
88
		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter:
89
			List backups/ to view older backups
90
			Check their MD5 sums using the steps under On jupiter below
91
			Remove these backups
92
	unset version
93
	screen
94
	Press ENTER
95
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
96
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
97
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
98
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
99
			won't be owned by your shell.
100
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
101
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
102
	Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
103
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
104
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
105
	Get $version: echo $version
106
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
107
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
108
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
109
	In PostgreSQL:
110
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
111
			inputs
112
	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
113
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
114
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
115
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
116
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
117
	Otherwise, continue
118
	make schemas/$version/publish
119
	unset version
120
	backups/fix_perms
121
	make backups/upload
122
	On jupiter:
123
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
124
		For each newly-archived backup:
125
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
126
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
127
	On nimoy:
128
		cd /home/bien/svn/
129
		svn up
130
		export version=<version>
131
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
132
		In the bien_web DB:
133
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
134
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
135
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
136
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
137
		env table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
138
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
139
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
140
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
141
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
142
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
143
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
144
				now in the copied tab instead
145
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
146
		export version=<version>
147
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
148
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
149
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
150
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
151
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
152
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
153
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
154
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
155
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
156
	To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
157
		export version=<version>
158
		To view progress:
159
			tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
160
	To remake analytical DB: bin/make_analytical_db &
161
		export version=<version>
162
		To view progress:
163
			tail -100 inputs/analytical_db/logs/make_analytical_db.log.sql
164
	To back up DB (staging tables and last import):
165
		export version=<version>
166
		If before renaming to public: export dump_opts=--exclude-schema=public
167
		make backups/vegbien.$version.backup/test &
168

    
169
Backups:
170
	Archived imports:
171
		Back up: make backups/<version>.backup &
172
			Note: To back up the last import, you must archive it first:
173
				make schemas/rotate
174
		Test: make -s backups/<version>.backup/test &
175
		Restore: make backups/<version>.backup/restore &
176
		Remove: make backups/<version>.backup/remove
177
		Download: make backups/download
178
	TNRS cache:
179
		Back up: make backups/TNRS.backup-remake &
180
		Restore:
181
			yes|make inputs/.TNRS/uninstall
182
			make backups/TNRS.backup/restore &
183
			yes|make schemas/public/reinstall
184
				Must come after TNRS restore to recreate tnrs_input_name view
185
	Full DB:
186
		Back up: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup &
187
		Test: make -s backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/test &
188
		Restore: make backups/vegbien.<version>.backup/restore &
189
		Download: make backups/download
190
	Import logs:
191
		Download: make inputs/download-logs
192

    
193
Datasource setup:
194
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
195
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
196
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
197
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
198
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
199
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
200
		For .sql exports:
201
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
202
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
203
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
204
			On vegbiendev:
205
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
206
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
207
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
208
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
209
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
210
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
211
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
212
	For MS Access databases:
213
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
214
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
215
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
216
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
217
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
218
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
219
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
220
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
221
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
222
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
223
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
224
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
225
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
226
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
227
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
228
			name must end in ".src"
229
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
230
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
231
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
232
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
233
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
234
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
235
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
236
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
237
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
238
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
239
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
240
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
241
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
242
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
243
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
244
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
245
			that depend on it
246
	Install the staging tables:
247
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
248
		For a MySQL .sql export:
249
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
250
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
251
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
252
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
253
			tail provides a header line with the filename
254
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
255
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
256
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
257
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
258
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
259
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
260
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
261
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
262
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
263
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
264
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
265
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
266
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
267
				Save
268
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
269
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
270
	Map each table's columns:
271
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
272
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
273
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
274
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
275
				left column of the core map
276
			Save
277
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
278
	Accept the test cases:
279
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
280
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
281
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
282
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
283
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
284
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
285
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
286
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
287
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
288
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
289
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
290
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
291
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
292
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
293
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
294
	Update vegbiendev:
295
		On jupiter: svn up
296
		On local machine:
297
			./fix_perms
298
			make inputs/upload
299
		On vegbiendev:
300
			svn up
301
			make inputs/download
302
			Follow the steps under Install the staging tables above
303

    
304
Datasource refreshing:
305
	VegBank:
306
		make inputs/VegBank/vegbank.sql-remake
307
		make inputs/VegBank/reinstall quiet=1 &
308

    
309
Schema changes:
310
	When changing the analytical views, run sync_analytical_..._to_view()
311
		to update the corresponding table
312
	Remember to update the following files with any renamings:
313
		schemas/filter_ERD.csv
314
		mappings/VegCore-VegBIEN.csv
315
		mappings/verify.*.sql
316
	Regenerate schema from installed DB: make schemas/remake
317
	Reinstall DB from schema: make schemas/public/reinstall schemas/reinstall
318
		WARNING: This will delete the current public schema of your VegBIEN DB!
319
	Reinstall staging tables:
320
		On local machine:
321
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'ALTER DATABASE vegbien RENAME TO vegbien_prev'
322
			make db
323
			. bin/reinstall_all
324
			Fix any bugs and retry until no errors
325
			make schemas/public/install
326
				This must be run *after* the datasources are installed, because
327
				views in public depend on some of the datasources
328
			sudo -E -u postgres psql <<<'DROP DATABASE vegbien_prev'
329
		On vegbiendev: repeat the above steps
330
			WARNING: Do not run this until reinstall_all runs successfully on
331
			the local machine, or the live DB may be unrestorable!
332
	Sync ERD with vegbien.sql schema:

363
	Refactoring tips:
364
		To rename a table:
365
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
366
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
367
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
368
				Search for <new>
369
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
370
		To rename a column:
371
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
372
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
373
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
374
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
375
		Determine the poster size:
376
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
377
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
378
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
379
			Zoom in as far as possible
380
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
381
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
382
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
383
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
384
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
385
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
386
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
387
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
388
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
389
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait

Testing:
400
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
401
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
402
		export log= n=2
403
	Mapping process: make test
404
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
405
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
406
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
407
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
408
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
409
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
410
			the appropriate null value to use.
411
	Map spreadsheet generation: make remake
412
	Missing mappings: make missing_mappings
413
	Everything (for most complete coverage): make test-all

Debugging:
416
	"Binary chop" debugging:
417
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
418
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
419
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml
420
	.htaccess:
421
		mod_rewrite:
422
			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
423
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
424
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
425
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
426
				redirects are permanent.
