Changes

It is advised to plan the generation time carefully, i.e. best during the night when no one is accessing and entering data into {{IMSMANG}}, as this might lead to inconsistencies. Ideally, the IMSMA server should be stopped before the staging area generation and then restarted. It also needs to be assured that no one (and no automatic reporting process) is accessing the staging area database at the time it has to be re-created. As long as there are open connections to the database, it cannot be dropped and re-created. Contact your [[Information Management Team | GICHD IM advisor ]] in case of questions.
