Step 1: Quote and Assetize the Anchor Product
The anchor product represents the primary service that tracks the customer's consumption.
- Create a quote and add the Anchor product—Quantum Bit Database Token Offering.
-
Under Quote Line Items, from the quick actions, click Manage Usage
Resources.
On the Manage Usage Resource page, the Usage Resources table shows the resources included in the product, for example, DB Storage, Compute Time. The table also shows the default token values for each resource, such as 10 tokens per GB.
- Save the quote.
- Generate the order, and activate it. The activation process creates an asset for the anchor product.
Step 2: Quote and Assetize the Commitment Product
The Commitment product defines the minimum usage or spends and the discounted pricing.
- Create a quote and add a commitment product from the catalog—Quantum Token Commitment.
-
Enter the commitment parameters. For example, the customer commits to 1,000 units of
Quantum Tokens.
For the commitment of 1000 tokens, a 6% discounted rate and an extra grant of 10 GB of storage and 10 minutes of compute time are provided.
- Save the quote.
- Generate the order, and activate it. The activation process creates an asset for the commitment product.
Step 3: Link the Commitment to the Anchor Assets
To apply discounts available in the commitment product to the consumption of the anchor product resources, the two standalone assets must be tied together by using a junction object Usage Commitment Asset Related Object.
- From the App Launcher, find and select Usage Commitment Asset Related Objects.
- Click New.
- In the Related Object field, select Asset and then select the anchor product you assetized in Step 1 (Quantum Bit Database).
- In the Asset field, select the commitment product you assetized in Step 2 (Quantum Token Commitment).
- Select an effective start and end date.
- Save your changes.
The commitment product is now configured. Whenever the customer consumes DB Storage or Compute Time against their Anchor product, the rating engine processes the consumption by using the 6% discounted rate provided by the linked Commitment.
