Description

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