--- title: Configuration settings summary: Configuration keys consumed by SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal, retrieval methods, and runtime dependencies. status: draft owner: SAIF Documentation Pipeline last_reviewed: 2026-08-21 library: SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal reference_type: embedded --- # Configuration settings This library's own configuration footprint is minimal: one Environment API key drives an external Guidewire-adjacent API client, environment branching is used twice for non-Production email-safety behavior, and one custom Oracle provider-registration section is declared in `Web.config`/`app.config`. All Oracle database connectivity is inherited from the shared BOF `DataLayer`/`Connection` framework infrastructure rather than configured locally. ## Configuration retrieval methods | Method | Class / Interface | Namespace | Usage pattern | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `GetConfigSetting(String)` | `IEnvironmentService` (accessed via the inherited `EnvironmentService` member exposed through the BOF base-class chain) | `SAIF.Core.Services` (interface) | Called once in `LegalManagerBase.New` to resolve a plain-text API base URL used to construct an `ApiClient`. | | `GetApplicationEnvironment()` | `AppGlobal.EnvironmentService` (`IEnvironmentService`, static accessor) | `SAIF.Framework.Security` | Called directly (not through a per-instance `EnvironmentService` member) to branch behavior between `ApplicationEnvironment.Prod` and non-production environments; returns an enum member rather than a keyed setting value. | ## Environment API settings Settings retrieved via `IEnvironmentService` (centralized environment configuration service). | Setting key | Method | Data type | Purpose | Consuming class | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `cc.ccclaimdataapiurl` | `GetConfigSetting` | String (URL) | Base URL used to register the `"ccclaimdataapi"` entry in `DPI.ApiClients`, used for outbound Guidewire-adjacent claim-data API calls. | `LegalManagerBase` (constructor) | `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalManagerBase.vb` | In addition to the keyed setting above, `GetApplicationEnvironment()` (non-keyed environment classification) is called at 2 sites: | Consumer | Purpose | Source | | --- | --- | --- | | `clsAssignmentManager.Testing` (read-only property) | Exposes whether the running environment is non-Production, used to construct `clsAssignmentProcess` in "testing" mode outside Production*. | `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsAssignmentManager.vb` | | `clsScheduleManager.SendDEFEmail` | Gates recipient-address redirection for Defense Evaluation Form (DEF) reminder emails outside Production. | `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsScheduleManager.vb` | ## AppSettings (Web.config) No `ConfigurationManager.AppSettings` calls and no `` section are present in this library's `Web.config` or `app.config`. This catalog is empty for `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`. ## Database connection configuration No keyed connection strings are read by this library's own code. Database context is set programmatically through the shared BOF `DataLayer` infrastructure rather than a config-file connection string. | Connection name | Provider | Retrieval method | Purpose | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | (unnamed — BOF `DataLayer` context) | Oracle (ODP.NET Managed Driver) | Set programmatically: `LegalManagerBase.New`/`OnInitialize` sets `DataLayer.Database = inDatabase` (the database identifier is supplied by the caller, not read from this library's config) and `DataLayer.DBUser = "LGN"` (a literal BOF portal "DB user" tag)*. | Selects the Oracle connection/database context for this library's data access via `SAIF.BOF.Framework.Connection`. | `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalManagerBase.vb` | ## Secure settings No `GetSecureConfigSetting` calls or hash/encryption utility usage were found in this library. This catalog is empty for `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`. ## Custom configuration sections | Section name | Handler type | Purpose | Source | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `oracle.manageddataaccess.client` | `OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess` | Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver configuration-section registration in ``; no populated section body — the actual provider registration is supplied via the `` block in the same files. | `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\Web.config`, `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\app.config` | Both `Web.config` and `app.config` also register the `Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client` provider factory under `` (replacing the default entry via `` then ``); `app.config` additionally carries ``/`` entries for `Newtonsoft.Json`, `System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe`, and `System.Text.Json` (standard assembly-version redirects, not application settings). ## Transitive configuration (from dependencies) No transitive configuration keys required by referenced libraries or packages were identified for this library. ## Configuration dependencies | Dependency | Type | Required at | Impact if missing | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `cc.ccclaimdataapiurl` | Environment API key | Object construction (`LegalManagerBase.New`) | The `ccclaimdataapi` API client entry cannot be registered; any Guidewire-adjacent claim-data API call routed through it would fail*. | | `oracle.manageddataaccess.client` / `DbProviderFactories` registration | Config file section | Startup (ADO.NET provider load) | The Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver provider cannot be resolved, and all Oracle database access in this library would fail*. | | BOF `DataLayer.Database` / `DataLayer.DBUser` | Programmatic framework state (not config-file driven) | Runtime, per manager instantiation | Data-access calls would target the wrong database/DB-user context or fail if not set by the caller*. | ## Related documentation - [Index](index.md) - [Overview](overview.md) - [Architecture](architecture.md) - [Dependencies](dependencies.md) - [Operations and processes](operations-processes.md) - [Business rules](business-rules.md) - [Security and authorization](security-authorization.md) - [Database tables](database-tables.md) - [SQL catalog](sql/index.md) - [API reference](api/index.md) > **Note:** Statements marked with `*` were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or > contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts. Statements > marked with `**` could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified. ## Sources - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalManagerBase.vb` - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsAssignmentManager.vb` - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsScheduleManager.vb` - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\Web.config` - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\app.config` - `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\My Project\Settings.Designer.vb`
