Physical Organization

For physical organization, we recommend that you apply the following naming conventions for systems and environments:

Systems

Follow the naming conventions that your database administrators have set up.

Use complete system name. For example, EDW or Enterprise Data Warehouse, or COE or Customer Order Entry.

Environments

Follow the naming conventions that your database administrators have set up.

Use standard naming conventions already in place to identify these environments. For example: EDW-PRD, EDW-Test, and EDW-DEV.
