# Configuration settings

`SAIF.Business.Policy` has no library-specific configuration settings beyond standard ODP.NET/assembly-binding plumbing. No `IEnvironmentService` settings, `AppSettings`, custom config sections, or `My.Settings`-defined settings were found in the scanned source.

## Configuration retrieval methods

_None._ No configuration retrieval methods (`IEnvironmentService`, `ConfigurationManager.AppSettings`, or `My.Settings`) are invoked by this library's source.

## Environment API settings

_None found._

## AppSettings (Web.config)

_None found._ No `<appSettings>` entries are present in `app.config` or `Web.config`.

## Database connection configuration

| Connection name | Provider | Retrieval method | Purpose | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| N/A (no named connection string) | `Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client.OracleClientFactory` | `DbProviderFactories` registration only | Registers the ODP.NET managed provider factory; actual Oracle access is mediated by the BOF framework's data portal, not a direct connection string in this library.* | `SAIF.Business.Policy\app.config`, `SAIF.Business.Policy\Web.config` |

## Secure settings

_None found._

## Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

_None found._ No transitive configuration consumption by referenced libraries was identified beyond the standard `<assemblyBinding>` redirects (`Newtonsoft.Json`, `System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe`, `System.Text.Json`) inherited from the shared NuGet package set, which are solution-wide boilerplate rather than library-specific settings.

## Configuration dependencies

| Dependency | Type | Required at | Impact if missing |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `oracle.manageddataaccess.client` config section + `OracleClientFactory` registration | Config section / DbProviderFactories | Startup | Oracle data access via the BOF framework's data portal would fail to resolve the ODP.NET provider factory.* |
