Server 2007 Data Analysis field definitions

[dfeigen115]

We're rolling out server 2007 and am trying to reconcile 2003 field
names/values to their 2007 variants. For example, 2003 has a field
"availabilty", which displays the hours a resource is available to work, 2007
has a "capacity" field that appears to relate to availabilty but I can't
figure out what it's format value is in terms of (seconds, hrs, etc).

Ideally, I'm looking for a document/book/resource that would provide the
definitions, etc for the fields in all of the 2007 OLAP cubes, but I'd be
happy just to know "capacity"

I figured out what was going on with capacity, but woudl still like to find a
source for the OLAP fields...

In Project Server 2003, Microsoft used the terms Availability and Remaining
Availability, where Remaining Availability = Availability - Work.

In Project Server 2007, Microsoft uses the terms Capacity and Availability,
where Availability = Capacity - Work. Get the drift? The corresponding
terms between the two versions are as follows:

Project Server 2003 Project Server 2007
Availability Capacity
Remaining Availability Availability

Hope this helps.
