The Control Center includes templates for many types of projects. The templates automatically add the standard processes to a project when you create it. While you can add or delete processes from projects created with a template, sometimes it is easier to start with a blank slate by creating an empty project.
Guidelines
- When you create an empty project, it only includes the input entities you specify.
- Empty projects can be used for batch or real-time processing. If you will be creating a real-time project, refer to Creating a Real Time Project.
- The WW template is used by default to create a business/empty project. Customers are not required to purchase any country templates if they plan to implement customized business projects only.
- If your batch project includes a Database Read/Write process, uses an ODBC data source that uses an ODBC driver (database adapter) and the Vendor-Supplied ODBC Adapter, and you run the exported batch script in a Linux environment (Trillium server installed on a Linux system), the batch script will fail. Validating the project’s database settings will return an error and will not complete. This scenario is supported only when the Trillium server is installed on a Windows system.
To create an empty Quality project
-
In the Navigation View, click the Develop bar.
-
Right-click on the Projects tab and select Create project.... The Create Quality Project wizard opens.
-
In Name, type a unique name for the project you want to create.
-
(Optional) In Description, type a brief description.
-
In Type, select Empty Project.
-
Click Next. The Input Entities window opens.
-
By default, entities that were created as the output of a Quality process are omitted from the list. If you prefer to include them, select the Display all entities check box to list all entities.
-
Select the input entities you want to include in the project and click >.
Note: When used for real-time processing, empty projects can include only one input
entity in the cleansing flow. Selecting multiple entities will display a message
advising you that the project will not be suitable for real-time deployment. If
the extra input entity will be an input to a Reference Matcher, and you will
configure the project so the Reference Matcher will be the first process in your
project, you can ignore this message.
-
Click Next to display the Summary window.
-
Review the summary and click Finish to complete the project creation. The scheduler notification bar opens.
-
(Optional) Change the job name.
-
Do one of the following:
- To schedule the job to run immediately, click Now. The message closes
and the job begins running in the background.
- Click Later. The Set Date & Time scheduler window opens. To
immediately run the job in the background, click Run Now. To schedule a
time, select a starting date on the calendar and select a time you want the job to
run on the selected date. Click Submit to save the scheduled time.
- Click Cancel to cancel the task.
Note: All scheduled jobs are run in the background. Note the progress in the
Background Tasks List View.
When completed, the new project displays on the Projects tab of the Develop bar in the Navigation View.
