The updateRepositoryDataType() GraphQL mutation is used to change the type of repository. This is useful only in Cloud installations. It requires root permission.

Similar to this mutation, you can use the updateRepositoryType() mutation to change the data type of the repository (e.g., FALCON).

For information on creating a repository, see the Creating a Repository or View documentation page. You may also want to look at the Manage Repositories and Views and Repositories pages for related information.
