      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.
