eLife Continuum publishing process tools

econ-tools only requires boto. A full development environment can be installed using:

./install.sh

You must set the following environment variables before running the program:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID The access key for your AWS account.
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY The secret key for your AWS account.
• AWS_DEFAULT_REGION The default region to use, e.g. us-east-1.

Sets string properties against versions of articles within the eLife Continuum Dashboard. An example use for this is updating the publication-status property of an article to indicate it should be temporarily hidden.

Usage:

econ_dashprop.py dashboard_queue_name article_id version property_name property_value

Example:

$ python econtools/econ_dashprop.py prefix-event-property-incoming-queue 00288 1 publication-status hidden

The publication-status hidden results in sending the publication-status value of hidden onto the event-property-incoming-queue for article 00288, version 1.

That message is then picked up by the dashboard, which results in hiding version 1 of 00288 from the current list of articles that are errored or in progress.

econ_article_feeder sends a JSON message into a SQS queue which triggers an AWS SWF workflow. This workflow looks in the S3 bucket that is passed to econ_article_feeder for a zip file with the key that is passed to econ_article_feeder. This article zip file, if found, is then processed by the eLife Continuum publishing workflow.

Usage:

econ_article_feeder.py [options] bucket_name workflow_starter_queue_name workflow_name
$ python econtools/econ_article_feeder.py -p elife-14721-vor-r1 -r 1  elife-production-final workflow-starter-queue IngestArticleZip

Options:

• -h, --help - show this help message and exit
• -p PREFIX, --prefix=PREFIX - only feed keys with the given prefix
• -r RATE, --rate=RATE - how many seconds between messages
• -f FILTER, --filter=FILTER - filter regex to match against keys
• -w, --working - print a . character for each key fed

The filter option is more flexible than the prefix option but less efficient as the keys are filtered on the client
