Managing billing of Azure Service Manager services
For BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management 4.6.04 and later, when you stop the server on the My Cloud Services console, the IP address is cleared from the console. When you shut down or stop an Azure Service Manager service (Azure classic) and the IP address is public, the IP address is cleared from BMC Server Automation, and billing is automatically stopped. If the IP address is private, the host name is used through DNS, so the billing is stopped, but the IP address is not cleared from BMC Server Automation.
If you do not want to use the stop billing feature, make sure the attributeValue is set to false as shown in the following providers.json file example. You can find this file in the PMInstallationDirectory\BMCCloudLifeCycleManagement\Platform_Manager\configuration\ or PMInstallationDirectory/Platform_Manager/configuration/ folder.
