Create new repository

With Tricentis Test Data Service you can connect to a different database than the one that is used by default. You can create a separate Tricentis Tosca Test Data Service repository in addition to the default repository.

If you want to create a repository in an Oracle database, refer to the Tricentis Knowledge Base for instructions.

If you want to create a repository, you need to send a request message with Tricentis Tosca API Scan. To do so, follow the steps below: 

  1. Launch API Scan.

  2. In the API Scan window, right-click the project root element and select Create Folder from the context menu.

    Right-click the newly created ComponentFolder and select Create Message from the context menu.

    Alternatively, you can create a message directly on the project root element.

  3. Select POST from the Method drop-down menu.
