A connection to a database (for example to the [[IMSMA Staging Area]]) is called a '''Data Source'''. The first step to get started with MINT or lightMINT is to create a data source. The tool needs to know where the data that needs has to be analysed is stored. A data source can be:
* an IMSMA staging area database
* any other database
* an XML or Excel file -- the preferred way however is to import or dump the content of a file in a database and then connect MINT to the database. This solution is does scale simply scales better and is better manageable. Please get in touch with your [[Management Consulting Team|GICHD IM focal point at GICHD ]] prior to including file-based data into MINT.
