OSID - osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerAdminSession Service Interface Definition

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.BrokerConstrainerEnablerAdminSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session creates, updates, and deletes `BrokerConstrainerEnablers`. The data for create and update is provided by the consumer via the form object. `OsidForms` are requested for each create or update and may not be reused. Create and update operations differ in their usage. To create a `BrokerConstrainerEnabler`, a `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` is requested using `getBrokerConstrainerEnablerFormForCreate()` specifying the desired record `Types` or none if no record `Types` are needed. The returned `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` will indicate that it is to be used with a create operation and can be used to examine metdata or validate data prior to creation. Once the `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` is submiited to a create operation, it cannot be reused with another create operation unless the first operation was unsuccessful. Each `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` corresponds to an attempted transaction. For updates, `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForms` are requested to the `BrokerConstrainerEnabler` `Id` that is to be updated using `getBrokerConstrainerEnablerFormForUpdate()`. Similarly, the `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` has metadata about the data that can be updated and it can perform validation before submitting the update. The `BrokerConstrainerEnablerForm` can only be used once for a successful update and cannot be reused. The delete operations delete `BrokerConstrainerEnablers`. To unmap a `BrokerConstrainerEnabler` from the current `Distributor`, the `BrokerConstrainerEnablerDistributorAssignmentSession` should be used. These delete operations attempt to remove the `BrokerConstrainerEnabler` itself thus removing it from all known `Distributor` catalogs. This session includes an `Id` aliasing mechanism to assign an external `Id` to an internally assigned `Id`.
