A project in DMS DevOps is a logical unit that groups a database R&D effort — similar to projects in Jira or GitLab. Each project defines who participates, which databases are in scope, and which iteration templates are available. This structure keeps the R&D process organized, prevents accidental changes, and protects data security.
Create a project
Log on to the DMS console V5.0.
In the top navigation bar, click Database Development. In the left-side navigation pane, choose R&D Space > DevOps.
Click the Project tab.
Click Create Project.
In the Create Project dialog box, configure the following parameters and click OK.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Project name | The name of the project. |
| Project administrator | One or more project administrators. The project creator is selected by default. Administrators can view and modify project information and be assigned to approval nodes in iterative stages. |
| Testers | One or more testers. Testers can be assigned to approval nodes in iterative stages. |
| Participants | One or more participants. Participants can view project information and create iterations. Only project administrators, database administrators (DBAs), and DMS administrators can add or remove participants. |
| Available iteration templates | One or more iteration templates available when creating iterations in the project. If one or more templates are selected, only the selected templates are available when you create an iteration in the project. If no template is selected, all templates in the drop-down list are available. After a template is associated with a project, you can modify configurations of existing iterative stages but cannot create or delete an iterative stage. For more information, see Manage iteration templates. |
| Available databases | One or more databases available when creating iterations in the project. If one or more databases are selected, only the selected databases are available when you create an iteration in the project. If no database is selected, all databases in the current tenant are available by default. |
| Project description | A description that helps you manage the project. |
Create an iteration
Iterations let you advance an R&D process stage by stage. Each iterative stage accepts specific types of tickets to control what operations are performed, making the workflow more structured and efficient.
To create an iteration, go to the Project Details page and click Create Iteration. For more information, see Manage iterations.
