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.

Enter a value of 1 to convert the template to the global cost unit without changing the values. For
example, if the global cost unit is euros and the information in the template contains the correct
amounts in euros but is expressed as dollars, enter 1 to convert the template from dollars to euros.
