SAIF.Application.Policy overview

Documentation context: Packaged Component (NuGet)

SAIF.Application.Policy is an application-layer orchestration library for policy retrieval and policy-header composition. It does not own the policy domain model or the primary data-access implementations; instead it coordinates lower-layer policy, agency, view, and BOF services behind a PolicyAppManager surface and exposes policy-header settings and data-provider contracts to consuming applications.

Purpose

• Resolve a policy context from a policy number, decide whether the current principal may use that context, and expose the resulting policy aggregates to consuming applications.
• Assemble the policy-header payload and its security-filtered association data while delegating most persistence and business-object retrieval to SAIF.Business.View.Policy, SAIF.Business.Policy.Core, SAIF.Business.Policy.Agency, and SAIF.BOF.Business.
• Centralize policy-layer presentation-adjacent behavior such as Business Online access text, demo masking, header help-text lookup, and non-production test-information display.

Responsibilities

• Create and own the Oracle Policy portal and fixed GEN database identity.
• Coordinate policy retrieval, validity checks, and policy-level authorization.
• Compose policy-header settings, data-provider, association filtering, and help-text behavior.
• Classify the current principal's policy-related roles through local authorization checks.

Key components

• PolicyAppManager: application-manager entry point that coordinates context setup, authorization, and access to policy aggregates.
• clsPolicySecurity: local role-classification service for agent, producer, auditor, demo, group, loss-control, policyholder, quick-file, and SAIF-employee decisions.
• PolicyHeader types: contracts and standard implementations for header settings, test information, association filtering, help text, and rendered header values.

Open questions

• Version drift risk. This library consumes the 1.x generation of SAIF.BOF.Business.View.Policy, while the documented dependency at SAIF.Business.View.Policy is the 2.x generation from this run. The documentation can link to that library, but the runtime package version used by SAIF.Application.Policy may not match its documented behavior.**
• SAIF.Business.Policy.Premium.Billing is used for deposit-on-hand retrieval, but the exact producing package could not be pinned from the available findings.**

Note: Statements marked with ** could not be confirmed; treat as unknown until verified.
