SAIF.Business.View.Policy overview

Documentation context: Front-End Application Component Documented via: LegalMaintenance (LegalMaintenance/LegalMaintenance.vbproj)

SAIF.Business.View.Policy is a read-only business/domain library in the SAIF BOF stack that provides a policy-centric view of Oracle policy data for consumers such as LegalMaintenance and SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal.* Its aggregate root, clsPolicyData, exposes policy header, period, address, agency, team, and association data, and it is the only library in this documentation run that reaches two independent databases: Oracle (primary) and SQL Server, referred to internally as "BDS" (secondary, security-only).

Purpose

• Provide a read-only projection of policy data for downstream consumers: every IBusinessCriteria implementation returns an empty statement or throws for CreateSQL, InsertSQL, UpdateSQL, and DeleteSQL (BR-VP-027); only RetrieveSQL and dedicated retrieval-only SQL properties carry statements.*
• Serve as the entry point for consumers via clsPolicyData.GetPolicyData, lazily populating child collections for agency, address, periods, team, trading-as names, and associations.*
• Maintain both the current policy-to-policy association model and the older, obsolete affiliate model side by side.
• Enforce policy-level authorization and per-user-type policy-list retrieval through clsPolicySecurity, the library's sole authorization boundary (BR-VP-003, BR-VP-005).
• Apply demo-user data masking to names, addresses, and identifiers inside the business objects themselves (BR-VP-010).*

Responsibilities

• Retrieve and assemble a complete policy view (clsPolicyData and its child objects) from Oracle via the BOF DPI.
• Authorize user access to a given policy and produce the accessible-policy list for a user via a secondary SQL Server ("BDS") connection.
• Classify and expose policy association data (current model) and affiliated-policy data (legacy, obsolete model).
• Convert and expose policy status, market type, and user access-level codes.

Key components

• clsPolicyData: aggregate root for a policy view.
• clsPolicySecurity: authorization boundary; owns the secondary SQL Server (BDS) data layer.
• Associations/ + PolicyAssociations.vb: current policy relationship model.
• clsAffiliatedPolicy / clsAffiliatedPolicyCollection: legacy affiliate model (<Obsolete>).
• clsPolicyPeriod(Collection), clsPolicyAddress, clsAgency, clsTeamAssignment(Collection), clsTradingAs(Collection): policy-adjacent entities.
