Initialize MAMA. MAMA employs a reference count to track multiple calls to Mama.open() and Mama.close(). The count is incremented every time Mama.open() is called and decremented when Mama.close() is called. The resources are not actually released until the count reaches zero. If entitlements are enabled for the library, the available entitlement server names are read from the entitlement.servers property in the mama.properties file located in the %WOMBAT_PATH% directory. This function is thread safe.
