• Copy the download to \bgbm-pesihpc\CoL or any other place you have access to

Prepare database¶

As the import takes very long (>2 days) it is highly recommended not to run it into production directly, instead use a local database or one of the 2 col instances on edit-test (Note: edit-test is relatively slow)

Launch¶

• The import is launched by ColDwcaImportActivator in cdmlib-apps (https://dev.e-taxonomy.eu/gitweb/cdmlib-apps.git)
• The import is split in multiple parts
  • taxa
  • extensions
  • higher taxa
  • lower taxa
  • synonymy
  • For performance reasons and because the import may run out of memory it is highly recommended to split it, especially higher and lower taxonomy should be imported separately

Configuration¶

• give enough memory e.g. -Xmx9000M
• Consider defining your own log file and log properties e.g. by -Dlog4j.configuration=file:///C:/Users/a.mueller/.cdmLibrary/log/properties/log4j_col.properties

Installation¶

• when ready move DB to edit-database (production) and install mysql -h localhost -u edit -p cdm_production_col<filename
