SAIF.Services.Imaging.Import operations and processes

This page is the operation catalog and cross-operation hub for this library. This library implements a single operation — a pure in-memory serialization routine with no multi-step workflow, no database interaction, and no delegation into referenced libraries.

Operation catalog

Operation	Intent	Trigger	Inputs	Outputs	Rules	Tables	SQL
Serialize import metadata to key-value text	Render a populated clsImageImport instance as a flat KEY=VALUE text payload for delivery to an external imaging system	Caller invokes clsImageImport.ToString()	Populated clsImageImport instance properties	KEY=VALUE\r\n-delimited string	BR-IMG-001, BR-IMG-002	none	none

Process flow diagram

The following diagram visualizes the single serialization operation's flow.

flowchart TD
    Start([Caller populates clsImageImport properties]) --> Call[Caller invokes ToString]
    Call --> Loop[Append each property as KEY=VALUE line]
    Loop --> Check{Date or non-positive<br>numeric field?}
    Check -->|Yes| Blank[Emit blank value]
    Check -->|No| Emit[Emit formatted value]
    Blank --> Next[Continue to next field]
    Emit --> Next
    Next --> Done([Return complete KEY=VALUE text payload])

Database interactions

None. This library performs no database access; clsImageImport.ToString() is a pure in-memory string-building routine.

Failure and edge-case behavior

• No exceptions are thrown by ToString() under any observed input — all fields are appended unconditionally or blanked out per BR-IMG-001 / BR-IMG-002; there is no validation logic that could reject a malformed instance.*
