    Abstract: A billing system for use in a printing system which processes a job with one or more events occurring, relative to the job, as a result of processing the job, is provided. The billing system includes a configurable billing information file including a plurality of current incrementable billing meters with each current incrementable billing meter corresponding with a set of one or moreattribute values, and an information set including event related information with the event related information indicating that a new incrementable billing meter is to be added to the plurality of current incrementable billing meters or that one of the plurality of current incrementable billing meters is to be deleted. The billing system further includes a billing meter manager, responsive to the information set, for causing the new incrementable billing meter to be added to the configurable billing information file or for causing one of the plurality of current incrementable billing meters to be deleted from the configurable billing information file.

    Abstract: In a process for ensuring compatibility of components in a system, system components are defined and relationships between two or more system components identified. From relationships between components, inter-relationships between these identified relationships and possibly other components are determined. By validating integrity of either or both of the identified relationship and determined inter- relationship and, based on a validating result, ensuring integrity of the identified relationship or determined inter-relationship, compatibility of the components in the system is ensured. This process is particularly useful in eliminating incompatibilities between resident and migrational software in an automated computer system.
