Idea

The idea is to copy all the data of an existent portal , for having a dump that can be used after to restore the data if lost or to use in a new instance.

Dump the data of a portal

Steps to flow (inside the server where is the portal to dump)

1. Dumping 4-store data (this command will create a "data" folder containing a dump of the 4store triple store

   sudo 4s-dump http://localhost:8081/sparql/ -a -o <path where to create the data folder>

2. Gzip the created "data" folder and the "/srv/ontoportal/data/repository" (where are the original data of the ontologies)

   tar -zcvf backup.tar.gz <path to the data folder> /srv/ontoportal/data/repository

Restore and process the data

Steps to flow (inside the server where is the portal to restore)

1. Copy the backup tar file (4s-dump data + repository folders) into the remote

   scp -r -p  <remote server>:<remote path to the backup tar file> <path where to put the tar file>
   tar -xzvf <path where is the tar file>

2. Stop ontoportal services :

   sudo systemctl stop 4s-httpd.service

3. Copy the new repository directory

   cp -fi <path where is the repositroy directory> /srv/ncbo/

4. Restore the 4store dump

   cd <where is the data directory> && find . -type f | 4s-restore ontologies_api

5. Restarting ontoportal services

   sudo opstart

6. Reprocessing all ontologies

   cd /srv/ontoportal/ncbo_cron
   bundle exec bin/ncbo_ontology_process -a
