TCSI Data Entry file uploads can ONLY be tested via TCSI Support. There are four steps to testing with us:
1. Nominate a test account
If you tested with TCSI in the past: please nominate the provider code for your test account.
If you only plan to test file uploads and do not have a test account: please request a "TCSI Data Entry test account" from TCSIsupport@dese.gov.au.
If you plan to test an API solution: follow the Setting up a test account guidance.
2. Email TCSI Support with your test files attached
Prepare files following the guidance on the Using TCSI Data Entry page and email with the provider code to TCSIsupport@dese.gov.au.
Ensure you safeguard private information by applying the Test data considerations
3. Check the response file
It can take one to two business days for TCSI Support to submit the file on your behalf and return a response file by email.
The response file will detail the outcome of each record and list validations returned in the test environment.
4. Check the stored data
You can send a data extract request to confirm the data stored in your test account.
Make sure you use the same provider code as in step 1 (select 'other' if your test account is not in the list) and select the 'test environment' option in the form.
