# Configuration settings



No configuration retrieval patterns were detected directly in `SAIF.Framework.Preferences` — the library reads no `IEnvironmentService`, `ConfigurationManager.AppSettings`, typed settings, or config-file sections itself. However, `PreferenceData` receives a fully-constructed `IDataPortalInfo` from the caller via constructor injection and issues inline Oracle SQL through it, so this library is transitively dependent on the Oracle connection configuration that `SAIF.Framework` (built from `SAIF.Framework.Core`) resolves on the host application's behalf. See the Transitive configuration section below.



## Configuration retrieval methods



None detected.



## Environment API settings



None detected.



## AppSettings (Web.config)



None detected.



## Database connection configuration



None detected.



## Secure settings



None detected.



## Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

Settings required at runtime by referenced libraries or packages, not directly consumed by this library's code. `SAIF.Framework.Preferences` supplies no connection or environment configuration itself — the host application must construct and supply an `IDataPortalInfo` whose underlying Oracle connection is already resolved through `SAIF.Framework` (built from `SAIF.Framework.Core`).*

| Setting key | Method | Source dependency | Dependency type | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `SAIF_Framework_Connection_ConnectInfo_ConnectInfo` | `ApplicationSettingsBase` | SAIF.Framework (assembly, produced by SAIF.Framework.Core) | Internal (HintPath binary reference) | Default `ConnectInfo` SOAP endpoint used by `MSOracleDataPortal` to resolve the Oracle connection string that `PreferenceData` relies on to execute inline SQL against [USER_PREFERENCE](database-tables.md#user_preference). See [SAIF.Framework.Core configuration](../saif-framework-core/configuration.md#database-connection-configuration) for the full resolution chain.* |



## Configuration dependencies
