{{Warning=== Using the Staging area database===__NOEDITSECTION__ The '''[[Connecting to IMSMA Staging area from ArcGIS | The sandbox Staging area database option]]''' is the '''best''' option since it gives you access to all attributes including CDFs in ArcMap and PostGIS is activated in the client background map are used Staging area database.

The sandbox option is '''notNOT''' recommended to use but if you decided to do it anyhow please:# make a copy of the client background map
# make a copy of the file based geodatabase
and use these when working with ArcGIS.Both # make a copy of them are found in the client's current background map folder in mxd fileby '''following'C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox''the instructions below and use copies when working with ArcGIS.
If the client's current background map is called ''World'' then you will find the World.mxd file based geodatbase in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map''.
<li>Close the {{IMSMANG}} client.
<li>Copy this the folder called ''IMSMA.gdb'' in ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map'' to e.g. IMSMA_3Aug.gdb. <li>Open ArcMap with an empty mxd or start ArcCatalog.<li>In ArcCatalog right-click on World.mxd and select ''Set Data Source(s)''<li>Set the name to the output file to a new name e.g. World_3Aug''World'''_3Aug'''.mxd''.<li>Copy the folder called Click on '''Select All''' button.<li>Click on '''Replace All'''IMSMAbutton.gdb<li>Set ''Replace with'' in to e.g. ''C:\IMSMAng\client\gis\sandbox\World\map\IMSMA'''_3Aug'''.gdb''.<li>Click on '' (which is 'Replace All''' button.<li>Verify the file based geodatabase) to eresult and click on '''OK''.g<li>Open the new mxd, ''World_3Aug.
