To be able to connect to the IMSMA Staging area database from ArcGIS you need to copy the client library files to the ''\ArcGIS\Desktop10.1\bin '' folder:<div style="column-count:2;-moz-column-count:2;-webkit-column-count:2">* libeay32.dll* libiconv-2.dll
* libintl-8.dll
* libpq.dll
* ssleay32.dll
</div>You can download these files from '''[[Downloads | here]]''' or copy from ''C:\IMSMAng\pgsql\bin''.{{Note | You would also need the font ''icomoon.tff'' which you may download from [[:File:LR_Symbology.zip| here]].}}

There is also a special mxd-file, ''staging.mxd'', that contains the IMSMA symbology and has Data Source set to a PostgreSQL database called ''''staging'''' for all layers. You find the ''staging-MM-DD-YY.mxd'' in ''C:\IMSMAETLTool\data''. The visible scale ranges in ''staging-MM-DD-YY.mxd'' are the same as in '''[[IMSMA.mxd]]'''.

On ESRI's ArcGIS Resource Center you will find [http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//00s500000020000000| instructions] on how to '''Repair broken links for multiple layers'''. <ol><li>Right click on e.g. Lands - Generic - Land Polygon and choose Properties in the menu.</li><li>The following window will open. </li>[[Image:Create DataConnection staging0.png|500px|center]]<div align="center">'' Layer Properties''</div><li>Go to tab Source. </li><li>Click on '''Set Data Source'''.</li>[[Image:Create DataConnection staging.png|500px|center]]<div align="center">'' The connection type is Database''</div><li>If you not already have a Database connection to your Staging area database, you need to create one first.
