  • Method Details

    • allocatesByLeastUse

      boolean allocatesByLeastUse()
      Tests if allocations balance the usage by preferring the least used provisionables in the pool.
      Returns:
      true if the least used provisionables are preferred, false otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • allocatesByMostUse

      boolean allocatesByMostUse()
      Tests if allocations prefer the most used provisionables in the pool.
      Returns:
      true if the most used provisionables are preferred, false otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • allocatesByLeastCost

      boolean allocatesByLeastCost()
      Tests if allocations prefer the cheapest provisionables.
      Returns:
      true if the cheapest provisionables are preferred, false otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • allocatesByMostCost

      boolean allocatesByMostCost()
      Tests if allocations prefer the most expensive provisionables.
      Returns:
      true if the most expensive provisionables are prefsrred, false otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.

    • getPoolProcessorRecord

      PoolProcessorRecord getPoolProcessorRecord(Type poolProcessorRecordType) throws OperationFailedException
      Gets the pool processor record corresponding to the given PoolProcessor record Type. This method is used to retrieve an object implementing the requested record. The poolProcessorRecordType may be the Type returned in getRecordTypes() or any of its parents in a Type hierarchy where hasRecordType(poolProcessorRecordType) is true.
      Parameters:
      poolProcessorRecordType - the type of pool processor record to retrieve
      Returns:
      the pool processor record
      Throws:
      NullArgumentException - poolProcessorRecordType is null
      OperationFailedException - unable to complete request
      UnsupportedException - hasRecordType(poolProcessorRecordType) is false
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.
