Configuration settings

SAIF.Application does not retrieve configuration values directly from environment services, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings, connection-string sections, or secure-setting helpers. Instead, consuming code supplies portal and connection metadata programmatically through ApplicationDataAccess properties and AppManagerBase portal-injection hooks.

Configuration retrieval methods

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
Programmatic property assignment	ApplicationDataAccess	SAIF.Application	Callers set DBUser, Database, Server, and optional BatchID before invoking CreateSQLServerPortal(...) or CreateOraclePortal(...).
Programmatic DPI injection	AppManagerBase	SAIF.Application	Derived managers can register or override IDataPortalInfo entries through InjectDPI(inKey, inDPI).
Constructor-supplied portal context	clsServiceAppManagerBase	SAIF.Application	Service-oriented managers receive an IDataPortalInfo instance through the constructor and expose it through DPI.

Environment API settings

No IEnvironmentService, GetConfigSetting, or GetSecureConfigSetting calls were identified in the reviewed SAIF.Application source files.

AppSettings (Web.config)

No ConfigurationManager.AppSettings or My.Settings retrievals were identified in the reviewed SAIF.Application source files.

Database connection configuration

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Source
Caller-supplied portal settings	SQL Server / Oracle	ApplicationDataAccess.DBUser, Database, Server, BatchID, then CreateSQLServerPortal(...) or CreateOraclePortal(...)	Supply runtime connection metadata before the library creates a data portal.	Application\SAIF.Application\ApplicationDataAccess.vb
Caller-supplied IDataPortalInfo	Depends on the provided implementation	AppManagerBase.InjectDPI(inKey, inDPI) or clsServiceAppManagerBase.New(ByVal inDataPortalInfo As IDataPortalInfo)	Let consuming code inject a prebuilt portal definition instead of retrieving configuration internally.	Application\SAIF.Application\AppManagerBase.vb; Application\SAIF.Application\Service Based\clsServiceAppManagerBase.vb

Secure settings

No secure-setting decryption or credential-retrieval helpers are called directly by this library.

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

No dependency-owned configuration retrieval is invoked directly from the reviewed SAIF.Application source files.

Configuration dependencies

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
ApplicationDataAccess connection values (DBUser, Database, Server, optional BatchID)	Caller-supplied runtime inputs	Before CreateSQLServerPortal(...) or CreateOraclePortal(...)	The library cannot construct provider-specific data portals.
IDataPortalInfo registrations supplied through InjectDPI(...) or clsServiceAppManagerBase.New(...)	Caller-supplied service/object	Before manager operations that rely on an injected portal	Managers cannot resolve the requested portal entry.
