Assigning an additional metric to a product
Available from 9.2.8.
The pricing calculations are based on the
relation between a product and a metric. The software catalog consists of an inventory of standard
relations. To define a custom relation, assign one of available metrics to an existing product.
Before you begin
You must have the View Software Catalog and Signatures and Manage Metric Quantity
Declarations (previously: Manage Licenses) permissions to perform this task.About this task
You can assign one of available metrics to a product from the software catalog, and thus, define a custom relation. You cannot duplicate an existing relation. You can only assign a metric that is not yet assigned to a certain product. The custom relation can be used while classifying your software inventory. It allows you to make your pricing calculations accurate and tailor-made.
Note: If you use License Metric Tool version 9.2.8 or
higher, go to Software Catalog report to define a custom relation. Starting from application update
9.2.14, the Software Catalog report is renamed to Products & Metrics report.
