Configuration settings

SAIF.Business.Policy performs no programmatic configuration retrieval of its own. Its direct configuration surface is limited to Oracle provider registration, assembly binding redirects, and empty VB application-settings scaffolding, while runtime connection and environment settings are inherited from the BOF hosting stack.

Configuration retrieval methods

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
GetConfigSetting	IEnvironmentService	SAIF.Core.Services	Not used directly in live code.
GetSecureConfigSetting	IEnvironmentService	SAIF.Core.Services	Not used directly in live code.
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings	ConfigurationManager	System.Configuration	Not used directly in live code.
My.Settings	SAIF.Business.Policy.My.MySettings	SAIF.Business.Policy.My	Auto-generated settings class exists, but no typed settings are declared.
DbProviderFactories registration	Oracle managed driver	System.Data	Declarative provider registration in app.config and Web.config.

Environment API settings

Setting key	Method	Data type	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none)	—	—	No direct Environment API settings are retrieved by this library.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\PolicyInformation.vb

AppSettings (Web.config)

Setting key	Default value	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none)	—	No appSettings keys are declared or read by this library.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\Web.config

Database connection configuration

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Source
Portal-based Oracle connection	Oracle.ManagedDataAccess	Caller-supplied IDataPortalInfo.PortalID	Lets the BOF framework resolve the runtime Oracle connection outside this library.*	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\PolicyInformation.vb

Secure settings

Setting key	Encryption method	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
(none)	—	No secure settings are retrieved directly by this library.	—	Business\SAIF.Business.Policy\packages.config

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

Setting key	Method	Source dependency	Dependency type	Purpose
EnvironmentApiUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.BOF.Framework / SAIF.Framework.Security.EnvironmentApi	NuGet	Required by the broader BOF hosting stack when environment-backed framework services are active*
workCalendarServiceUrl	GetConfigSetting	SAIF.BOF.Framework / SAIF.Framework.Core	NuGet	Supports clsSmartDate work-calendar behavior used by the hazard-group model*
Portal-to-connection mapping	Framework-specific	SAIF.BOF.Framework / SAIF.Framework.Connection	NuGet	Maps the caller's portal id to an environment-specific Oracle connection*

Configuration dependencies

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
Oracle managed provider registration	service/file/section	startup	The BOF host cannot construct the Oracle provider.
Portal-id connection mapping	service/configuration	runtime	Policy and hazard-group lookups cannot reach Oracle.*
Environment API host settings	service/configuration	runtime	Framework features that rely on environment-backed configuration cannot resolve their endpoints*
