Usage (Oracle Communications Billing and Revenue Management Elastic Charging Engine Java API Reference)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<Usage>
- - oracle.communication.brm.charging.messages.usage.Usage

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<Usage>, Operation
```
public enum Usage
extends java.lang.Enum<Usage>
implements Operation
```
Operation types supported by a usage request. ECE is serializing OperationType name as a string. For rerating, we are persisting this as an enum in BRM database to avoid upgrade impacts if enum names are changed in future versions of ECE. Explicit values are set here to ensure future additions are made at the end and the number assignments are unique.
