It can be useful to share an IMSMA staging area between different actors as a way to share IMSMA data. For example, in a setup where each actor/operator enters its own data into IMSMA (and thus has a subset of the provincial or national data), sharing the global staging area is a way of giving each actor access to the global dataset, without compromising their own IMSMA database.

Overview

There are several options for sharing the staging area:

  • Create a backup, send it to the organisations that should have it, and restore the backup there
  • Host the staging area on a server and allow access from the outside
  • Host IMSMA on a server and allow remote Staging Area Generators to connect to it

Each option is detailed step-by-step.
