Symptoms

When you deploy a project by using the CatalogFolder.DeployProject method in an instance of SQL Server 2014 or SQL Server 2012, the publication takes longer time than expected to be complete. Additionally, the publication may cause lots of network traffic.

This issue occurs because the CatalogFolder.DeployProject method retrieves all the data from the internal.operations table.
