Capacity conversion
You can define capacity in releases or units. By default, the capacity unit of measure (UOM) is defined in units.
To define capacity in RELEASES, contact IBM® Support to switch the configuration for your tenant from UNITS to RELEASES. Then, define the
conversion factor from RELEASES to UNITS. You can also define the
conversion factor for each node type. For more information, see Managing capacity conversion.
Example
The node capacity at the ship node is 1000. The Optimization service converts the
capacity by multiplying it with the RELEASES to Units conversion ratio. For
example, if the conversion factor is 2, during node-balancing optimization, the converted capacity
becomes 2000 at the ship node.
Similarly, in the input of the Optimizer API, the capacityConsumed parameter is converted by multiplying it with the ship node conversion ratio.
