Configuration settings

SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency does not retrieve configuration values directly from code. Its configuration surface is almost entirely declarative (app.config, Web.config, provider registration, and binding redirects) plus transitive framework settings required by the BOF runtime.

Configuration retrieval methods

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
GetConfigSetting	IEnvironmentService	SAIF.Core.Services	Not called directly by this library; required only through transitive framework dependencies.*
GetSecureConfigSetting	IEnvironmentService	SAIF.Core.Services	Not called directly by this library.*
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings	ConfigurationManager	System.Configuration	Not called directly by this library.
IDataPortalInfo.PortalID	BOF data-portal infrastructure	SAIF.Framework / SAIF.Business	Passed into every retrieve path so the BOF framework can resolve a runtime Oracle connection.*
My.Settings	SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency.My.MySettings	SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency.My	Auto-generated settings class exists, but it declares no typed settings.

Environment API settings

Settings retrieved via IEnvironmentService.

Setting key	Method	Data type	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none directly consumed)	—	—	This library does not call GetConfigSetting or GetSecureConfigSetting.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency\clsAgency.vb

AppSettings (Web.config)

Setting key	Default value	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none)	—	No direct appSettings keys are defined or consumed by this library.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency\app.config

Database connection configuration

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Source
Runtime portal mapping	Oracle Managed Data Access	IDataPortalInfo.PortalID through the BOF connection framework*	Resolves agency-domain retrieve requests to the correct Oracle connection at runtime.	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency\clsAgency.vb
Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client	Oracle Managed Data Access	Declarative provider registration	Registers the ADO.NET provider used by host applications that load this library.	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency\app.config

Secure settings

Setting key	Encryption method	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none)	—	No secure-setting retrieval is implemented in this library.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency\clsProducer.vb

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

Setting key	Method	Source dependency	Dependency type	Purpose
EnvironmentApiUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security.EnvironmentApi	NuGet	Supplies the BOF environment API base URL used by framework services.*
checkforupdatedsettingsinseconds	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security.EnvironmentApi	NuGet	Controls framework refresh cadence for cached environment settings.*
ApplicationHost	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security.EnvironmentApi	NuGet	Supports developer-host resolution in the framework environment service.*
EnvApiDeveloperSettingsOverride	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security.EnvironmentApi	NuGet	Supports local developer overrides in the framework environment service.*
workCalendarServiceUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Core	NuGet	Supports clsSmartDate service resolution used by the date-heavy agency, contract, office, and producer types.*
securityserviceurl / securityServiceUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security	NuGet	Supports framework authorization services when enabled by the host.*
legacyADServiceUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.Framework.Security	NuGet	Supports the legacy framework AD service client.*

Configuration dependencies

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
oracle.manageddataaccess.client section registration	Config section	Host startup	Oracle provider configuration cannot be loaded correctly.
DbProviderFactories registration	Provider registration	Host startup	The managed Oracle provider may not be discoverable.
PortalID-to-connection mapping	Runtime framework setting	Request execution	Retrieve operations cannot connect to the intended database.*
RestSharp binding redirect alignment	Assembly binding	Host startup	A redirect pinned to 106.11.7.0 can conflict with the 106.12.0 package deployed with this library.
