Description

This session provides methods to re-assign BrokerConstrainerEnabler to Distributor mappings. A BrokerConstrainerEnabler may appear in multiple Distributor catalogs and removing the last reference to a BrokerConstrainerEnabler is the equivalent of deleting it. Each Distributor may have its own authorizations governing who is allowed to operate on it.

Adding a reference of a BrokerConstrainerEnabler to another Distributor is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
