    Introduction: 

    If you are having a problem with database rollbacks not working with the TDM Portal, you can edit the application.properties file to enable this. It is supported, but not enabled by default. You can set this to be applied on an individual publish basis, but once changed, it will by default be applied to every publish. For partial inserts, records will be inserted, but no rollback will occur, even when the configuration is set to rollback.

     

    Here is more information on publishing with the TDM Portal: https://docops.ca.com/ca-test-data-manager/4-0/en/provisioning-test-data/generate-synthetic-test-data/generate-data-using-the-ca-tdm-portal/publishing-data 

     

    Environment:  

    CA Test Data Manager (TDM)- Web Portal

     

    Instructions: 

    You will need to edit the applications.properties file.

    1. Go to C:\Program Files\CA\CA Test Data Manager Portal\conf

    3. Search for 'rollback'.

    4. Find the line (typically #115) with tdmweb.publish.actionOnError=exit
    5. Uncomment the line by deleting the # sign before tdmweb.publish.actionOnError=exit. If using Notepad++ you will see the line turn from a green color to black.
