NOTE: The billing code can be modified only on the console. It is read-only on the infrastructure
orchestration self service portal and infrastructure orchestration organization administrator portal.
Email messages sent for Paused for Approval, Add Servers, and Add Disks display billing code
information. If the billing code is not supplied, None is shown.
Specifying a global cost unit for all templates
Convert the global cost unit for a template by right clicking in a blank area of the template design
area and selecting Convert Template to use Global Cost Units. This menu selection is enabled only
if the cost unit for the template is different from the global cost unit defined by the
cost.units.global.value property in the ..\Program Files\HP\Matrix
infrastructure orchestration\conf\hpio.properties file. This difference can occur
if:
• a template is imported with a different cost unit than the cost unit set in hpio.properties
file
• the cost.units.global.value value in hpio.properties is changed after creating
a template
On the Convert Template to use Global Cost Units dialog, enter a Conversion Factor, which is a
positive decimal or integer value. For example, if the cost information in a template is expressed
in euros (€) and the global cost unit set in the hpio.properties file is dollars ($), convert the
template from euros to dollars by entering a Conversion Factor equal to the current exchange rate,
such as 1.3358. If the current global cost unit is $/year and the cost information in the template
is entered in dollars per month, enter a Conversion Factor of 12 to convert the template from months
to years.
