Description

This session provides methods to re-assign BrokerEnabler to Distributor mappings. A BrokerEnabler may appear in multiple Distributor catalogs and removing the last reference to a BrokerEnabler 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 BrokerEnabler to another Distributor is not a copy operation (eg: does not change its Id).
