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.

Single datasource import:
63 8458 aaronmk
	(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 7287 aaronmk
68
Full database import:
69 8458 aaronmk
	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		To free up space, remove backups that have been archived on jupiter: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 9401 aaronmk
	unset TMOUT # TMOUT causes screen to exit even with background processes
94 8458 aaronmk
	screen
95
	Press ENTER
96
	Start column-based import: . bin/import_all by_col=1
97
		To use row-based import: . bin/import_all
98
		To stop all running imports: . bin/stop_imports
99
		WARNING: Do NOT run import_all in the background, or the jobs it creates
100
			won't be owned by your shell.
101
		Note that import_all will take up to an hour to import the NCBI backbone
102
			and other metadata before returning control to the shell.
103
	Wait (overnight) for the import to finish
104
	To recover from a closed terminal window: screen -r
105
	When there are no more running jobs, exit the screen
106
	Get $version: echo $version
107
	Set $version in all vegbiendev terminals: export version=<version>
108
	Upload logs (run on vegbiendev): make inputs/upload
109
	On local machine: make inputs/download-logs
110
	In PostgreSQL:
111
		Check that the provider_count and source tables contain entries for all
112
			inputs
113 9492 aaronmk
	Check that TNRS ran successfully:
114
		tail -100 inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/logs/tnrs.make.log.sql
115
		If the log ends in an AssertionError
116
			"assert sql.table_col_names(db, table) == header":
117
			Figure out which TNRS CSV columns have changed
118
			On local machine:
119
				Make the changes in inputs/.TNRS/schema.sql
120
				rm inputs/.TNRS/tnrs/header.csv
121
				make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall schema_only=1
122
				make schemas/public/reinstall
123
				If there are errors "column ... does not exist", etc.:
124
					Make the necessary changes in schemas/vegbien.sql
125
					make schemas/public/reinstall
126
				make schemas/remake
127
				inputs/test_taxonomic_names/test_scrub
128
				In inputs/test_taxonomic_names/_scrub/TNRS.sql, copy the body of
129
					the "COPY tnrs ..." statement to inputs/.TNRS/data.sql
130
				Commit
131
			On vegbiendev:
132
				If dropping a column, save the dependent views
133
				Make the same changes in the live TNRS.tnrs table on vegbiendev
134
				If dropping a column, recreate the dependent views
135
				Restart the TNRS client: make scrub by_col=1 &

	tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
137
	In the output, search for "Command exited with non-zero status"
138
	For inputs that have this, fix the associated bug(s)
139
	If many inputs have errors, discard the current (partial) import:
140
		make schemas/$version/uninstall
141
	Otherwise, continue
142
	make schemas/$version/publish
143
	unset version

145
	make backups/upload
146
	On jupiter:
147
		cd /data/dev/aaronmk/bien/backups
148
		For each newly-archived backup:
149
			make -s <backup>.md5/test
150
			Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
151
	On nimoy:
152
		cd /home/bien/svn/
153
		svn up
154
		export version=<version>
155
		make backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv/download
156
		In the bien_web DB:
157
			Create the analytical_stem_<version> table using its schema
158
				in schemas/vegbien.my.sql
159
		make -s backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv.md5/test
160
		Check that "OK" is printed next to the filename
161
		env table=analytical_stem_$version bin/publish_analytical_db \
162
			backups/analytical_stem.$version.csv
163
	If desired, record the import times in inputs/import.stats.xls:
164
		Open inputs/import.stats.xls
165
		If the rightmost import is within 5 columns of column IV:
166
			Copy the current tab to <leftmost-date>~<rightmost-date>
167
			Remove the previous imports from the current tab because they are
168
				now in the copied tab instead
169
		Insert a copy of the leftmost "By column" column group before it
170
		export version=<version>
171
		bin/import_date inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
172
		Update the import date in the upper-right corner
173
		bin/import_times inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
174
		Paste the output over the # Rows/Time columns, making sure that the
175
			row counts match up with the previous import's row counts
176
		If the row counts do not match up, insert or reorder rows as needed
177
			until they do. Get the datasource names from the log file footers:
178
			tail inputs/{.,}*/*/logs/$version.log.sql
179
		Commit: svn ci -m "inputs/import.stats.xls: Updated import times"
180
	To run TNRS: make scrub by_col=1 &
181
		export version=<version>
182
		To view progress:
183

		Download: make backups/download
214
	Import logs:
215
		Download: make inputs/download-logs
216 554 aaronmk
217 1773 aaronmk
Datasource setup:
218 8469 aaronmk
	umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
219 8458 aaronmk
	Add a new datasource: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
220
		<datasrc> may not contain spaces, and should be abbreviated.
221
		If the datasource is a herbarium, <datasrc> should be the herbarium code
222
			as defined by the Index Herbariorum <http://sweetgum.nybg.org/ih/>
223
	For MySQL inputs (exports and live DB connections):
224
		For .sql exports:
225
			Place the original .sql file in _src/ (*not* in _MySQL/)
226
			Follow the steps starting with Install the staging tables below.
227
				This is for an initial sync to get the file onto vegbiendev.
228
			On vegbiendev:
229
				Create a database for the MySQL export in phpMyAdmin
230 9494 aaronmk
				Give the bien user all database-specific privileges *except*
231
					UPDATE, DELETE, ALTER, DROP. This prevents bugs in the
232
					import scripts from accidentally deleting data.
233 8458 aaronmk
				bin/mysql_bien database <inputs/<datasrc>/_src/export.sql &
234
		mkdir inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
235
		cp -p lib/MySQL.{data,schema}.sql.make inputs/<datasrc>/_MySQL/
236
		Edit _MySQL/*.make for the DB connection
237
			For a .sql export, use server=vegbiendev and --user=bien
238
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
239
	For MS Access databases:
240
		Place the .mdb or .accdb file in _src/
241
		Download and install Access To PostgreSQL from
242
			http://www.bullzip.com/download.php
243
		Use Access To PostgreSQL to export the database:
244
			Export just the tables/indexes to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.schema.sql
245
			Export just the data to inputs/<datasrc>/<file>.data.sql
246
		In <file>.schema.sql, make the following changes:
247
			Replace text "BOOLEAN" with "/*BOOLEAN*/INTEGER"
248
			Replace text "DOUBLE PRECISION NULL" with "DOUBLE PRECISION"
249
		Skip the Add input data for each table section
250
	Add input data for each table present in the datasource:
251
		For .sql exports, you must use the name of the table in the DB export
252
		For CSV files, you can use any name. It's recommended to use a table
253
			name from <https://projects.nceas.ucsb.edu/nceas/projects/bien/wiki/VegCSV#Suggested-table-names>
254
		Note that if this table will be joined together with another table, its
255
			name must end in ".src"
256
		make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/add
257
			Important: DO NOT just create an empty directory named <table>!
258
				This command also creates necessary subdirs, such as logs/.
259
		If the table is in a .sql export: make inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/install
260
			Otherwise, place the CSV(s) for the table in
261
			inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/ OR place a query joining other tables
262
			together in inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/create.sql
263
		Important: When exporting relational databases to CSVs, you MUST ensure
264
			that embedded quotes are escaped by doubling them, *not* by
265
			preceding them with a "\" as is the default in phpMyAdmin
266
		If there are multiple part files for a table, and the header is repeated
267
			in each part, make sure each header is EXACTLY the same.
268 8466 aaronmk
			(If the headers are not the same, the CSV concatenation script
269
			assumes the part files don't have individual headers and treats the
270
			subsequent headers as data rows.)
271 8458 aaronmk
		Add <table> to inputs/<datasrc>/import_order.txt before other tables
272
			that depend on it
273
	Install the staging tables:
274
		make inputs/<datasrc>/reinstall quiet=1 &
275
		For a MySQL .sql export:
276
			At prompt "[you]@vegbiendev's password:", enter your password
277
			At prompt "Enter password:", enter the value in config/bien_password
278
		To view progress: tail -f inputs/<datasrc>/<table>/logs/install.log.sql
279
		View the logs: tail -n +1 inputs/<datasrc>/*/logs/install.log.sql
280
			tail provides a header line with the filename
281
			+1 starts at the first line, to show the whole file
282
		For every file with an error 'column "..." specified more than once':
283
			Add a header override file "+header.<ext>" in <table>/:
284
				Note: The leading "+" should sort it before the flat files.
285
					"_" unfortunately sorts *after* capital letters in ASCII.
286
				Create a text file containing the header line of the flat files
287
				Add an ! at the beginning of the line
288
					This signals cat_csv that this is a header override.
289
				For empty names, use their 0-based column # (by convention)
290
				For duplicate names, add a distinguishing suffix
291
				For long names that collided, rename them to <= 63 chars long
292
				Do NOT make readability changes in this step; that is what the
293
					map spreadsheets (below) are for.
294
				Save
295
		If you made any changes, re-run the install command above
296
	Auto-create the map spreadsheets: make inputs/<datasrc>/
297
	Map each table's columns:
298
		In each <table>/ subdir, for each "via map" map.csv:
299
			Open the map in a spreadsheet editor
300
			Open the "core map" /mappings/Veg+-VegBIEN.csv
301
			In each row of the via map, set the right column to a value from the
302
				left column of the core map
303
			Save
304
		Regenerate the derived maps: make inputs/<datasrc>/
305
	Accept the test cases:
306
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test
307
			When prompted to "Accept new test output", enter y and press ENTER
308
			If you instead get errors, do one of the following for each one:
309
			-	If the error was due to a bug, fix it
310
			-	Add a SQL function that filters or transforms the invalid data
311
			-	Make an empty mapping for the columns that produced the error.
312
				Put something in the Comments column of the map spreadsheet to
313
				prevent the automatic mapper from auto-removing the mapping.
314
			When accepting tests, it's helpful to use WinMerge
315
				(see WinMerge setup below for configuration)
316
		make inputs/<datasrc>/test by_col=1
317
			If you get errors this time, this always indicates a bug, usually in
318
				the VegBIEN unique constraints or column-based import itself
319
	Add newly-created files: make inputs/<datasrc>/add
320
	Commit: svn ci -m "Added inputs/<datasrc>/" inputs/<datasrc>/
321
	Update vegbiendev:
322

	Refactoring tips:
391
		To rename a table:
392
			In vegbien.sql, do the following:
393
				Replace regexp (?<=_|\b)<old>(?=_|\b) with <new>
394
					This is necessary because the table name is *everywhere*
395
				Search for <new>
396
				Manually change back any replacements inside comments
397
		To rename a column:
398
			Rename the column: ALTER TABLE <table> RENAME <old> TO <new>;
399
			Recreate any foreign key for the column, removing CONSTRAINT <name>
400
				This resets the foreign key name using the new column name
401
	Creating a poster of the ERD:
402
		Determine the poster size:
403
			Measure the line height (from the bottom of one line to the bottom
404
				of another): 16.3cm/24 lines = 0.679cm
405
			Measure the height of the ERD: 35.4cm*2 = 70.8cm
406
			Zoom in as far as possible
407
			Measure the height of a capital letter: 3.5mm
408
			Measure the line height: 8.5mm
409
			Calculate the text's fraction of the line height: 3.5mm/8.5mm = 0.41
410
			Calculate the text height: 0.679cm*0.41 = 0.28cm
411
			Calculate the text height's fraction of the ERD height:
412
				0.28cm/70.8cm = 0.0040
413
			Measure the text height on the *VegBank* ERD poster: 5.5mm = 0.55cm
414
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster height to make the text the same size:
415
				0.55cm/0.0040 = 137.5cm H; *1in/2.54cm = 54.1in H
416
			The ERD aspect ratio is 11 in W x (2*8.5in H) = 11x17 portrait
417
			Calculate the VegBIEN poster width: 54.1in H*11W/17H = 35.0in W
418
			The minimum VegBIEN poster size is 35x54in portrait
419
		Determine the cost:
420
			The FedEx Kinkos near NCEAS (1030 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101)
421
				charges the following for posters:
422
				base: $7.25/sq ft
423
				lamination: $3/sq ft
424
				mounting on a board: $8/sq ft

Testing:
427 8458 aaronmk
	On a development machine, you should put the following in your .profile:
428 8469 aaronmk
		umask ug=rwx,o= # prevent files from becoming web-accessible
429 8458 aaronmk
		export log= n=2
430
	Mapping process: make test
431
		Including column-based import: make test by_col=1
432
			If the row-based and column-based imports produce different inserted
433
			row counts, this usually means that a table is underconstrained
434
			(the unique indexes don't cover all possible rows).
435
			This can occur if you didn't use COALESCE(field, null_value) around
436
			a nullable field in a unique index. See sql_gen.null_sentinels for
437
			the appropriate null value to use.

	"Binary chop" debugging:
444
		(This is primarily useful for regressions that occurred in a previous
445
		revision, which was committed without running all the tests)
446
		svn up -r <rev>; make inputs/.TNRS/reinstall; make schemas/public/reinstall; make <failed-test>.xml

			IMPORTANT: whenever you change the DirectorySlash setting for a
450
				directory, you *must* clear your browser's cache to ensure that
451
				a cached redirect is not used. this is because RewriteRule
452
				redirects are (by default) temporary, but DirectorySlash
453
				redirects are permanent.
