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

Interface	osid.provisioning.rules.PoolConstrainerSearchSession
Implements	`osid.provisioning.rules.PoolConstrainerQuerySession`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesManager`
Used By	`osid.provisioning.rules.ProvisioningRulesProxyManager`
Description	This session provides methods for searching among `PoolConstrainers`. The search query is constructed using the `PoolConstrainerQuery`. `getPoolConstrainersByQuery()` is the basic search method and returns a list of `PoolConstrainers`. A more advanced search may be performed with `getPoolConstrainersBySearch()`. It accepts a `PoolConstrainerSearch` in addition to the query for the purpose of specifying additional options affecting the entire search, such as ordering. `getPoolConstrainersBySearch()` returns a `PoolConstrainerSearchResults` that can be used to access the resulting `PoolConstrainerList` or be used to perform a search within the result set through Po `olConstrainerSearch`. This session defines views that offer differing behaviors for searching. federated distributor view: searches include pool constrainers in distributors of which this distributor is an ancestor in the distributor hierarchy isolated distributor view: searches are restricted to pool constrainers in this distributor Pool constrainers may have a query record indicated by their respective record types. The query record is accessed via the `PoolConstrainerQuery`.
