General Goals
- Monitor Apache for error 500, target 0.2% a month.
- No more than 2 data repushes a month.
- No more than 1 hour downtime during normal business hours.
Genome Browser Setup
- See Jorge's Presentation on the server setup.
GIT (Source Code Management System)
- Getting_Started_With_Git
- Working_with_Git
- Once you've read up...ask for git commit access.
Editing Static Docs
- Editing static pages that are destined for the RR (Round Robin), hgdownload, or linked to genomewiki.
- Need to have links hard coded to the RR, but need to test them on the development machines? Take a look at how you can use javaScript with the static pages.
CGI Build Process & Testing
- Currently we are on a 3 week CGI software release schedule. See CGI_Build_Schedule for more details.
- The google calendar version should be added to your soe google calendar. More information.
- The buildmeister follows this process.
- When the CGIs are loaded on hgwbeta, the QA'er tests their assigned CGIs. The general CGI testing instructions can be found here.
- Currently we try to test our CGI's in Internet Explorer & Firefox due to the high browser usage.
- Brand new CGIs should be tested on the latest version of IE and FF.
- All CGIs should be tested using the latest version of IE after they are built on hgwbeta.
- On release day QA'ers test using their browser of choice, except the designated IE tester.
- If you don't have access to a Windows machine with Internet Explorer, there is a machine you can log into.
QAing tracks/assemblies
- Browser QA process:
Mailing List Maven
- Mailing list schedule can be found on the Genome Browser Mail List soe google calendar. More information.
- Mailing list procedure can be found on the redmine wiki
- Places to search for answers:
- Mailing list archives (which can be searched from these two pages on the main website: Contact and FAQ
- Search the mailing list forum which isn't as extensive as the mailing list archives.
- Public Genome Wiki
- Search the redmine mailing list project for internal chatter on previously answered mailing list questions.
- Frequently_asked_mailing_list_questions
- List of Subject Matter Experts to go to for help.
- Remember that when you email users, make sure the links don't have session id's.
- Ex: w/ session id: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?hgsid=190182411&c=chrX&g=geneid (remove the bolded section)
- Ex: w/o session id: http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=geneid (note that links to description pages should include the database: db=hg19&)
- Most other links without an hgsid will likely not work. Instead, create a session.
- If you click on a link supplied by a user that includes an hgsid, do not change any settings until you reset your cart.
- Make sure none of the links you respond with are to our internal servers, such as hgwdev. Typically we should only send links to genome.ucsc.edu, genome-preview.ucsc.edu, and to hgdownload.cse.ucsc.edu.
Updating Blat Servers
See this page for more information.
Tools
- Vi
- Don't have a text editor of choice? Learn how to use vi by typing in "vimtutor" on the command line on hgwdev.
- Vi Quick Start Guide
- Handy Cheat Sheet
