Interface	osid.offering.rules.OfferingConstrainerEnablerLookupSession
Implements	`osid.OsidSession`
Description	This session provides methods for retrieving `OfferingConstrainerEnablers.` This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects. comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition isolated catalogue view: All offering constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to offering constrainer enablers defined explicitly in the current catalogue. Using an isolated view is useful for managing `OfferingConstrainerEnablers` with the `OfferingConstrainerEnablerAdminSession.` federated catalogue view: All offering constrainer enabler methods in this session operate, retrieve and pertain to all offering constrainer enablers defined in this catalogue and any other offering constrainer enablers implicitly available in this catalogue through catalogue inheritence. activee offering constrainer enabler view: All offering constrainer enabler lookup methods return active offering constrainer enablers. any status offering constrainer enabler view: offering constrainer enablers of any active or inactive status are returned from methods. Generally, the comparative view should be used for most applications as it permits operation even if there is data that cannot be accessed. The methods `useFederatedDistributorView()` and `useIsolatedDistributorView()` behave as a radio group and one should be selected before invoking the methods in this session.
