The ICatalogSession interface provides methods for Catalog Version Negotiation (section 3.1.4.1) and for Multiple-partition Support Capability Negotiation (section 3.1.4.3). This interface inherits from IUnknown, as specified in [MS-DCOM] section 3.1.1.5.8.
To receive incoming remote calls for this interface, the server MUST implement a DCOM Object Class with the CLSID CLSID_COMAServer (see section 1.9) using the UUID {182C40FA-32E4-11D0-818B-00A0C9231C29} for this interface.
Besides the methods of IUnknown, this interface includes the following methods.
