Managing repositories
After you create a project in Rational® Test Automation Server, you can add repositories that contain test assets and resources to the project. You can also change the repository details, update the user credentials of a repository, delete a repository, create a webhook for the configured repository.
Deleting a repository
You can delete repositories that you no longer require in your test environment.

Test Manager Guide
This guide describes how to manage and track your overall test effort. This guide is intended for test managers.
- Team space management
  You might want to become a team space member, add members to your team space, change a user role in a team space, modify the team space, or delete a team space.
- Test assets and a server project
  Rational® Test Automation Server projects manage access to your test assets, which are stored in a Git repository. Projects are maintained in a team space. Projects are either public by default or private. Private projects are not discoverable by other users. You can either add your own project or you can request to be a member of another public project.
- Managing repositories
  After you create a project in Rational® Test Automation Server, you can add repositories that contain test assets and resources to the project. You can also change the repository details, update the user credentials of a repository, delete a repository, create a webhook for the configured repository.
  - Adding repositories to a server project
    You can add repositories to a server project to access assets and resources available in the respective repository.
  - Updating the authentication credentials of the repository
    If the authentication credentials of the Git repository which was added to your project are changed, then you must update the credentials of the repository in Rational® Test Automation Server.
  - Deleting a repository
    You can delete repositories that you no longer require in your test environment.
  - Refreshing repositories manually
    You can manually trigger the refresh activity for a repository to instantly fetch and synchronize the changes from the remote repository.
  - Selecting the global branch in a project
    After you add one or more repositories to your project, you can start accessing all branches in all repositories of that project. You can select only one branch as a global branch from the list of branches in the Execution, Datasets, and Overview pages.
  - Creating webhooks
    You can configure a webhook for a repository in the Git server to notify Rational® Test Automation Server whenever there is a push event in the remote repository. Then, the refresh activity is triggered to fetch the latest changes to the server repository.
- Protecting API test assets by using secrets
  Secrets are key-value pairs that are created for your project in IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server under a secrets collection. You can create secrets collections for your project that enable you or members in your project to use secrets at test runtime either in Rational Test Automation Server or in desktop clients.
- Managing an encrypted dataset
  You can use encrypted datasets to limit access to confidential information such as account number or passwords. You can arrange data by an appropriate category so that project members can use datasets more effectively in certain tests and protect them.
- Managing notifications
  IBM® Rational® Test Automation Server provides a feature to display notifications for different events within the user interface (UI) of Rational Test Automation Server. You can configure an SMTP server on Rational Test Automation Server when you want Rational Test Automation Server to send out notifications about the different events as emails to the subscribed users.

Deleting a repository

You can delete repositories that you no longer require in your test environment.

Before you begin

You must have completed the following tasks:

Configured the repository that contains the test assets in your project.
Been assigned a project owner or a tester role with access to delete repositories.

About this task

You can delete a repository that you have configured for your project.
