The above described '''[[Using Staging Area Generator | generation ]]''' of an IMSMA staging area needs human interaction. However, once all the options are fixed, there might be the requirement to re-generate the staging area regularly, in order to have an up-to-date reporting database.

</pre>
</li>
<li>Edit the properties file C:\IMSMAETLTool\conf\config.PROPERTIES by specifying the required values for all the parameters (they correspond to the ones from the graphical user interface described above'''[[Using Staging Area Generator | here]]'''). If a parameter should not be used, e.g. '''script_file''', then comment it by placing a # at the beginning of the line:
