Using projects to organize your subscriptions

Projects let you group your subscriptions into categories to reflect your organizational or operational needs.

About this task

Organizational Approach for Projects
The organizational approach is useful if you want to group your subscriptions according to their current state of development. In many working environments, organizations prefer to test a CDC Replication configuration before promoting the configuration to a production environment.
If you have subscriptions that are still in development, others that are being tested, and some that have been promoted to production, you may want to group your subscriptions in projects according to their current development state. For example, you can use Test, Development, and Production for project names. As you finish development or testing of a subscription, you can then move the subscription to the appropriate project.
Operational Approach for Projects
The operational approach is useful if you are creating subscriptions that relate to particular departments or operations within your organization. For example, you may have subscriptions that relate to human resources, finance, or sales. In this case, you may want to organize your subscriptions into projects that reflect these particular operations or departments.
