Script

Following is a script for the attached video.

Preparation: Open a command-line interface to mapping.ihtsdotools.org, ls ~/code/admin/mojo/src/main/java/org/ihtsdo/otf/mapping/mojo/Q*

Describe two types of QA currently performed on a daily basis:  Database, Workflow

• Point out that legacy/other QA classes are no longer used, but retained for potential re-use later (FixInvalidTargets, MapGroups)
• Workflow Checks:
  • Uses workflow handlers to validate current status of map records
• Database Checks:
  • Queries are specified in the qa Maven project (mapping-admin/qa/pom.xml)
  • execute:  more ~/code/admin/qa/pom.xml, scroll down to queries
  • Checks for various conditions, e.g. map entries reference valid targets, map records reference valid concepts

 Running QA checks with wrapper script

• As with all wrapper scripts, find them in ~/bin
• cd ~/bin/, more qaCron.csh
  
• Note the config properties to set (MAPPING_CODE, MAPPING_CONFIG, MAPPING_DATA)
• Indicate the two checks, and note they will send email if they detect problems to send.notification.recipients in config file

Running QA checks on demand

• Use the mojos QAWorkflow and QaDatabase
• Workflow can be specified for individual projects
• Database cannot

Wiring to cron job:

• crontab:  program used to install, remove, or list the current cronjobs
• Demonstrate crontab -l, crontab -e
• Note MAILTO and column headers, direct to online documentation
