 +
This script will
 +
* create a series of symlinks in the FTP site (for example, to maintain the virtually organized species/ directory)
 +
* create "current" symlinks in the FTP site for easy access.
 +
* adjust symlinks to mysql GFF databases updated this release.
 +
* adjust the symlink at /usr/local/wormbase/acedb/wormbase -> to point to the new wormbase_WSXXX unpacked acedb.
 +
* Sync the staging FTP site to the production FTP site.
 +
 
 +
If you omit the WSXXX on the command line, the script will simply organize the virtual directories on the ftp site up to and including the current release. MySQL and AceDB symlinks will not be created.
 +
 
 +
=== Branch the web code ===
 +
 
 +
For each major WS release, create a corresponding branch in the git repository. We branch the moment a new release is staged so that we can begin development for that model.  This can be done from any repository.
  
DEPRECATED. NO NEED TO MIGRATE THIS INTO THE NEW STAGING PIPELINE.

= Steps to execute after a release has been staged =
  
  Usage : ./steps/compile_interaction_data.pl ${RELEASE}
+
== Precache content ==
  Input : AceDB interaction data
 
  Output : Files ${WORMBASE}/databases/${RELEASE}/interaction
 
  
*compiled_interaction_data.txt
+
Once a release has been successfully staged and tested, we pre-cache select computationally intensive content to a CouchDB instance located on the development server.
  
=== Convert GFF2 into GFF3 ===
+
Precaching works as follows.
  
Notes...
+
1. The primary Catalyst configuration file is read.
  
  Usage: ./steps/convert_gff2_to_gff3.pl ${RELEASE}
+
2. For each widget set to "precache = true" in config, REST requests will be constructed against staging.wormbase.org. This will be running the NEW version of WormBase.
  
=== Create a GBrowse-driven genetic map  ===
+
3A. The webapp returns HTML; the precache script stores it in the reference (production) couchdb.
  
Notes...
+
    OR
  
  Usage: ./steps/load_gmap_gffdb.pl ${RELEASE}
+
3B. The web app on staging.wormbase.org will automatically cache result in the reference couchdb (currently web6); the couchdb that is written to can be configured in wormbase.conf.
  
=== Create a GBrowse-driven physical map  ===
+
4. The reference couchDB will then be replicated during production release to each node, scaling horizontally.
  
Notes...
+
5. During a production cycle, additional content will be stored in the reference couchdb; this is synced periodically to each node.
 +
 +
See [[Administration:WormBase_Production_Environment#CouchDB|CouchDB]] for details.
  
  Usage: ./steps/load_pmap_gffdb.pl {WSRELEASE}
+
== Purge old releases ==
  
=== Go Live ===
+
To purge previous releases from the production and staging nodes,
  
  steps/go_live.pl WSXXX
+
  staging/steps/purge_old_releases.pl --release WSXXX
  
This script will  
+
This will remove the following:
* create a series of symlinks in the FTP site (for example, to maintain the virtually organized species/ directory)
+
* create "current" symlinks in the FTP site for easy access.
+
/usr/local/wormbase/acedb/wormbase_WSXXX
* adjust symlinks to mysql GFF databases updated this release.
+
/usr/local/wormbase/databases/WSXXX
* adjust the symlink at /usr/local/wormbase/acedb/wormbase -> to point to the new wormbase_WSXXX unpacked acedb.
+
/usr/local/mysql/data/WSXXX
  
If you omit the WSXXX on the command line, the script will simply organize the virtual directories on the ftp site up to and including the current release. MySQL and AceDB symlinks will not be created.

THIS DOCUMENT IS NOW DEPRECATED. PLEASE REFER TO THE PROJECT DOCUMENTATION MAINTAINED ON GOOGLE DRIVE.

https://docs.google.com/a/wormbase.org/document/d/1oPpj8d5gibUc-gpUZorl6ETT5baE6mp-v2bMedKauiA/edit#


Overview

This document describes the process of staging a new release of WormBase on the development server.

The automated staging pipeline consists of:

  • a harness that handles logging, error trapping, and basic shared functions
  • a suite of modules -- one per step -- that implement the step or make calls to helper scripts
  • helper scripts in Perl or shell that assist in implementation

Control of the pipeline: You can use the pipeline in several ways:

  • Launch the full pipeline via the control script, the preferred and automated method.
  • Run individual steps in the context of the pipeline using control scripts in steps/, useful if the pipeline fails at a specific point.
  • Directly run helper scripts outside of the logging facilities of the pipeline, useful if you need to rebuild something quickly.

Document Conventions

The current development server is

 wb-dev: wb-dev.oicr.on.ca (FQDN); aka: dev.wormbase.org

When indicated, substitute WSXXX for ${RELEASE}.

System paths referred to in this document:

      FTP : /usr/local/ftp/pub/wormbase
 WORMBASE : /usr/local/wormbase
    ACEDB : /usr/local/wormbase/acedb

Staging Pipeline Code

The update pipeline code is available in the website-admin module on github:

tharris> git clone git@github.com:WormBase/website-admin.git
tharris> cd website-admin/update

 lib/                  -- the shared library suite that handles updates.
 staging/          -- code related to staging data on the development site. 
 production/     -- code related to the releasing data/code into production.

The contents are:

  logs/            -- the logs directory for each step/update
  bin/              -- Perl scripts for manually launching individual steps.
  README.txt -- directory listing
  updatelog.conf  -- a configuration file for the update process
  update.sh  -- master script that fires off each step of the pipeline
  util/       -- various helper scripts for the update process

Running the Update Pipeline

Log Files

The Staging Pipeline creates informative logs for each step of the process. Logs are located at:

 /usr/local/wormbase/logs/staging/WSXXX
     master.log  -- Master log tracks all steps; useful for a meta-view of the pipeline. Contains INFO, WARN, ERROR, and FATAL messages.
     master.err  -- Master error log tracks ERROR and FATAL messages encountered across all steps.

Each individual step creates its own log file capturing STDERR and STDOUT containing informative messages from the pipeline. These are useful for tracking progress and triaging problems. For example:

 /usr/local/wormbase/logs/staging/WSXXX/build_blast_databases/
      step.log   -- step-specific log tracking everything from TRACE on up.
      step.err    -- step-specific error log tracking ERROR and FATAL messages. Good place to check if a step breaks.

Executing the Pipeline

A single script fires off all steps of the process. You should run it inside a screen.

 tharris> screen
 tharris> ./stage_via_pipeline.pl WSXXX
   (to disconnect your screen)
 tharris> ^a ^d
   (to resume your screen)
 tharris> screen -r   
 

Monitor progress of the update by following the master log file:

tharris> tail -f /usr/local/wormbase/logs/staging/WSXXX/master.log

Purge old releases

Clear out disk space by throwing away old releases.

./steps/purge_old_releases.sh WSXXX   // release to purge; clears out acedb, mysql, support DBs, and staging FTP

Mirror a new release

New releases are mirrored directly from the Hinxton FTP site to the primary WormBase FTP site hosted on wb-dev:/usr/local/ftp. This process is run via cron but can also be run manually.

 # Mirror the next incremental release newer than what we already have:
 # Cron: 
 ./steps/mirror_new_release.pl

 # Or mirror a specific release: 
 ./steps/mirror_new_release.pl --release WS150   // Mirror the WS150 release to /usr/local/ftp/pub/wormbase/releases/WS150

Unpack Acedb

Unpack AceDB from the new release. Customize the new installation with skeletal files located at /usr/local/wormbase/website/classic/wspec. You will need approximately 25 GB of disk space per release.

via pipeline: ./steps/unpack_acedb.pl ${RELEASE}
via helper : helpers/unpack_acedb.sh ${RELEASE}
  Input : Files staged at ${FTP}/releases/${RELEASE}/species
 Output : Unpacked AceDB files in ${ACEDB}/wormbase_${RELEASE} 

When complete, you should have a new acedb directory containing:

   -- database
   -- wgf
   -- wquery
   -- wspec

Test the database by:

> ps -ax | grep acedb ## to get acedb process number
> kill -9 {AceDB proc number} ## stop current acedb process
> sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart 
> saceclient localhost -port 2005

Create BLAST databases

Build nucleotide and protein BLAST databases for species with genomic sequence and conceptual translations. In addition, for C. elegans and C. briggsae, we build blast databases for ESTs and "genes" (actually clones).

  Usage : ./steps/create_blast_databases.pl ${RELEASE}
  Input : Genomic sequence and protein FASTA files staged at:
             ${FTP}/releases/species/${SPECIES}.${RELEASE}.genomic.fa.gz
             ${FTP}/releases/species/${SPECIES}.${RELEASE}.protein.fa.gz
             Gene and EST sequences derived from AceDB
 Output : BLAST databases in ${WORMBASE}/databases/${RELEASE}/blast/${SPECIES}.

Create BLAT databases

Build BLAT databases of genomic sequence.

  Usage : ./steps/create_blat_databases.pl ${RELEASE}
  Input : Genomic sequence FASTA files staged at
             ${FTP}/releases/species/${SPECIES}/${SPECIES}.${RELEASE}.genomic.fa.gz
 Output : BLAT .nib files in ${WORMBASE}/databases/${RELEASE}/blat/${SPECIES}

Load genomic GFF annotations

Convert GFF files into Bio::DB::GFF (GFF2) or Bio::DB::SeqFeature::Store (GFF3) databases.

 Usage : ./steps/load_genomic_gff_databases.pl ${RELEASE}
 Input : GFF and FASTA files staged at:
           GFF : ${FTP}/releases/species/${SPECIES}/${SPECIES}.${RELEASE}.gff[2|3].gz
           DNA : ${FTP}/releases/species/${SPECIES}/${SPECIES}.${RELEASE}.genomic.fa.gz

Unpack and Load the CLUSTALW database

Usage: ./steps/unpack_clustal_database.pl {WSRELEASE}
Input: ${FTP}/releases/${RELEASE}/COMPARATIVE_ANALYSIS/wormpep${RELEASE}.clw.sql.bz2
Output: a new mysql database called clustal_${RELEASE}

   Notes:                                                                                                                                                  
                                                                                                                                                            
   1. dump_species_* will be called for each species managed by WormBase

   2. The filename will be created by stripping off dump_species_ or dump_resource_.                                                                       
       Species specific resources will be prepended with the appropriate species.


Create a GBrowse-driven genetic map

Notes...

 Usage: ./steps/load_gmap_gffdb.pl ${RELEASE}

Go Live

steps/go_live.pl WSXXX

This script will

  • create a series of symlinks in the FTP site (for example, to maintain the virtually organized species/ directory)
  • create "current" symlinks in the FTP site for easy access.
  • adjust symlinks to mysql GFF databases updated this release.
  • adjust the symlink at /usr/local/wormbase/acedb/wormbase -> to point to the new wormbase_WSXXX unpacked acedb.
  • Sync the staging FTP site to the production FTP site.

If you omit the WSXXX on the command line, the script will simply organize the virtual directories on the ftp site up to and including the current release. MySQL and AceDB symlinks will not be created.

Branch the web code

For each major WS release, create a corresponding branch in the git repository. We branch the moment a new release is staged so that we can begin development for that model. This can be done from any repository.

staging> cd /usr/local/wormbase/website/production
staging> git pull
// Creating a tag...
// staging> git tag -a -m "WSXXX" WSXXX HEAD
// staging> git push --tags
// Create a new branch, one tracking the remote master repository
staging> git branch --track WSXXX origin/master
staging> git branch // list all branches
// Push the branch to the remote repository
staging> git push origin WSXXX
staging> git push

Steps to execute after a release has been staged

Precache content

Once a release has been successfully staged and tested, we pre-cache select computationally intensive content to a CouchDB instance located on the development server.

Precaching works as follows.

1. The primary Catalyst configuration file is read.

2. For each widget set to "precache = true" in config, REST requests will be constructed against staging.wormbase.org. This will be running the NEW version of WormBase.

3A. The webapp returns HTML; the precache script stores it in the reference (production) couchdb.

   OR

3B. The web app on staging.wormbase.org will automatically cache result in the reference couchdb (currently web6); the couchdb that is written to can be configured in wormbase.conf.

4. The reference couchDB will then be replicated during production release to each node, scaling horizontally.

5. During a production cycle, additional content will be stored in the reference couchdb; this is synced periodically to each node.

See CouchDB for details.

Purge old releases

To purge previous releases from the production and staging nodes,

staging/steps/purge_old_releases.pl --release WSXXX

This will remove the following:

/usr/local/wormbase/acedb/wormbase_WSXXX
/usr/local/wormbase/databases/WSXXX
/usr/local/mysql/data/WSXXX

And on the staging host

/usr/local/ftp/pub/wormbase/releases/WSXXX
