You can create one project for a sales application and anotherproject for a marketing application. By placing all processes related to the salesapplication in the sales project and the processes for the marketing applicationin the marketing project, you can separate and control the workloads in a waythat makes sense to the business.A user that is a member of more than one project can run processes in multipleprojects at the same time. This multiple project approach makes it possible forusers to participate in several workloads simultaneously. All processes that aprocess starts inherits the project of the parent process. As a result, switching toa new project in a startup script runs all child processes in the new project.For more information, refer to the Solaris operating environment documentSystem Administration Guide: Solaris Containers--Resource Management andSolaris Zones .
