The IMSMA Staging Area Generator is a tool that creates a staging area from an {{IMSMANG}} database. It is thus part of the {{IMSMANG}} tool set, but not included in the {{IMSMANG}} installation package. IMSMA Staging Area Generator thus needs to be installed separately. Please contact your [[Information Management Consulting Team | GICHD IM advisor]] in order to get the latest installation package.
{{Note | The Staging Area Generator can only be used with {{IMSMANG}} 6.0 and higher.}}
==Basic Principles==__NOEDITSECTION__
The Staging Area Generator takes an {{IMSMANG}} database as input and outputs a staging area database, i.e. a flattened version of the IMSMA database, containing only '''approved''' data. The structure of the staging area and a details on the data it contains can be found on the [[Staging Area Database| IMSMA Staging Area Database]] page.
When creating the Staging Area database with the [[Using Staging Area Generator | Staging Area Generator]] is possible to choose:
* which language to use
* which Country structure name to use (main or any of the alternative names)
* if PostGIS geodata should be created
* which projection to use
* to do data post-processing.
It is easy to [[Scheduling the Staging Area creation | schedule the creation]] of the Staging Area database.
