Application configuration settings¶

Claims Legal's configuration surface is dominated by IEnvironmentService/AppGlobal.EnvironmentService (GetConfigSetting/GetSecureConfigSetting) settings that resolve outbound API endpoints, credentials, and the Oracle database/environment name; a small number of libraries also read ConfigurationManager.AppSettings-style keys, SQL Server BDS connection parameters, or declare Oracle ODP.NET provider registrations. Most consumed libraries (SAIF.Application, SAIF.Business.Policy, SAIF.Business.Utilities, SAIF.Services.Export, SAIF.Services.Imaging.Import) have no configuration footprint of their own beyond standard Oracle provider/assembly-binding boilerplate.

Configuration retrieval methods¶

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
`AppGlobal.EnvironmentService.GetConfigSetting(String)` / `New WindowsEnvironmentService().GetConfigSetting(String)`	`IEnvironmentService`	`SAIF.Framework.Security`	The dominant retrieval pattern across the application: called directly at the point of use (constructors, property getters, `LoadApiClients`-style initialization) to resolve plain-text URLs, database names, and non-keyed environment-identity checks. Used by the `Legal` web project itself and by most consumed libraries (`SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`, `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`, `SAIF.Business.View.Policy`, `SAIF.Application.Claim`, `SAIF.Services.Printing`, `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.PopUps.Infragistics111`).
`AppGlobal.EnvironmentService.GetSecureConfigSetting(String, systemHash)`	`IEnvironmentService`	`SAIF.Framework.Security`	Used by the `Legal` web project (`clsLegalModel`) to retrieve pipe-delimited credential pairs for outbound API authentication, keyed by a `SystemHashUtil`-computed system hash.
`AppGlobal.EnvironmentService.GetApplicationEnvironment()`	`IEnvironmentService`	`SAIF.Framework.Security`	Non-keyed environment-identity check (compared against `ApplicationEnvironment.Prod`) used in several libraries to gate non-Production-only behavior (email/calendar-sync redirection, Appworx target overrides). Not a keyed setting.
`ConfigurationManager.AppSettings`	`System.Configuration`	System	`Legal/Web.config` declares one static key (`ApplicationHost`) read via the standard ASP.NET `<appSettings>` mechanism.
`ApplicationSettingsBase` (`My.Settings`)	Various `My.MySettings` classes	Per-library `My` namespace	Design-time Web Reference URL defaults in `SAIF.Services.Printing`; superseded at runtime by `GetConfigSetting` calls in the same library's constructors and not otherwise read by consuming code.

Environment API settings¶

Settings retrieved via IEnvironmentService/AppGlobal.EnvironmentService, consolidated across the entry-point application and all consumed libraries.

Setting key	Method	Purpose	Consuming class	Owning project

Non-keyed environment-identity checks (GetApplicationEnvironment(), documented for completeness — not configuration keys):

Consumer	Purpose	Owning project
`clsAssignmentManager.Testing`	Exposes whether the running environment is non-Production, used to run `clsAssignmentProcess` in "testing" mode outside Production.	`SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`
`clsScheduleManager.SendDEFEmail`	Gates recipient-address redirection for Defense Evaluation Form reminder emails outside Production.	`SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`
`clsAttorneySchedule.OnSave()`	Derives a `testing` flag so Exchange calendar-sync calls behave differently outside Production.	`SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`
`clsConsolidations.ConsolidateCases()`	Same purpose as above.	`SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`
`clsLegalSchedule.RemoveFromCalendars()` / `UpdateCalendars()`	Same purpose as above.	`SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`
`SubmitBatchJob` (shared overload)	Selects between the `WCISPROD` and `WCISDEV1` Oracle Appworx targets when `inUseWCISDEV1AppworxForAllDevEnv = True`.	`SAIF.Services.Appworx`
`clsPrint` (constructor, via `IsProduction`)	Selects `m_Environment = "Prod"`/`"Dev"`.	`SAIF.Services.Printing`

AppSettings (Web.config)¶

Setting key	Default value	Purpose	Consuming class	Owning project
`ApplicationHost`	`np15`	Static application-host identifier declared in `<appSettings>`.	ASP.NET runtime (`ConfigurationManager.AppSettings`)	`Legal` (entry-point)

No other library in the dependency chain declares <appSettings> keys or calls ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.

Database connection configuration¶

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Owning project
Primary Oracle DPI	Oracle (ODP.NET Managed Driver)	`EnvironmentConfigKeys.OracleDatabase` via `GetConfigSetting`, plus programmatic `DataLayer.Database`/`DataLayer.DBUser` assignment	Primary claim/policy/legal data access for the application.	`Legal` (entry-point), `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`, `SAIF.Application.Claim`, `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.PopUps.Infragistics111`
Secondary SQL Server BDS connection	SQL Server	`BDS_USER` / `bdsDatabase` / `BDS_DATABASENAME` via `GetConfigSetting`	Authorization/access-control stored-procedure lookups (group membership, loss-control book, group-policy list) — kept separate from the primary Oracle policy database.	`SAIF.Business.View.Policy` (consumed transitively by `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`)
Oracle ODP.NET provider registration (`DbProviderFactories` / `oracle.manageddataaccess.client`)	Oracle.ManagedDataAccess	Config-file section registration, no keyed connection string	Registers the ODP.NET managed driver provider factory so ADO.NET can resolve Oracle connectivity; declared identically in `Web.config`/`app.config` across nearly every consumed library (`Legal`, `SAIF.Application`, `SAIF.Application.Claim`, `SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal`, `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`, `SAIF.Business.Policy`, `SAIF.Business.View.Policy`, `SAIF.Business.Utilities`, `SAIF.Services.Appworx`, `SAIF.Services.Imaging.Import`, `SAIF.Presentation.Web.Controls.PopUps.Infragistics111`).	Application-wide

Custom configuration sections¶

Section name	Handler type	Purpose	Owning project(s)
`oracle.manageddataaccess.client`	`OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess`	Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver configuration-section registration; declared in `Web.config`/`app.config` across essentially every library that references `Oracle.ManagedDataAccess`, directly or transitively.	Application-wide
`applicationSettings` → `SAIF.Services.Printing.My.MySettings`	`System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection`	Design-time Web Reference URL settings, superseded at runtime by `GetConfigSetting` calls in the same constructors.	`SAIF.Services.Printing`

Secure settings¶

Setting key	Encryption method	Purpose	Consuming class	Owning project
`legalapi.creds`	`GetSecureConfigSetting` keyed by `SystemHashUtil.[Get](SystemType.WebApp)`	NTLM credential pair for the internal `LegalApi` client.	`clsLegalModel`	`Legal` (entry-point)
`cc.gwcreds`	`GetSecureConfigSetting` keyed by `SystemHashUtil.[Get](SystemType.WebApp)`	HTTP Basic credential pair shared by the Guidewire matter, activity-data, and claim-data API clients.	`clsLegalModel`	`Legal` (entry-point)

No other library in the dependency chain calls GetSecureConfigSetting.

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)¶

Setting key	Source dependency	Dependency type	Purpose
`BDS_USER`, `bdsDatabase`, `BDS_DATABASENAME`	`SAIF.Business.View.Policy` (`clsPolicySecurity`)	Project reference (via `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`)	Hidden dependency: a deployment inventorying only `SAIF.Business.Claim.Legal`'s own code could miss the requirement to provision these three keys for policy-security authorization lookups.

SAIF.Application, SAIF.Business.Policy, SAIF.Business.Utilities, SAIF.Services.Export, and SAIF.Services.Imaging.Import were confirmed to have no configuration footprint of their own beyond standard Oracle provider/assembly-binding boilerplate, so they contribute no transitive keys.

Configuration dependencies¶

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
`EnvironmentConfigKeys.OracleDatabase`	Environment API key	Application startup / first data access	The primary Oracle DPI context cannot be resolved; all Oracle-backed claim/policy/legal data access fails.
`legalapi.url` / `legalapi.creds`	Environment API key + secure setting	Request (LegalApi client construction)	The internal `LegalApi` client cannot authenticate or be constructed; LegalApi-routed calls fail.
`cc.ccclaimdataapiurl`, `cc.matter.api.url.v1`, `cc.gwcreds`, `cc.activitydata.api.url.v1`, `cc.claimdata.api.url.v1`	Environment API keys + secure setting	Request (Guidewire-adjacent API client construction)	Guidewire matter, activity-data, and claim-data API clients cannot be constructed or authenticated; downstream Guidewire integration calls fail.
`BDS_USER` / `bdsDatabase` / `BDS_DATABASENAME`	Environment API settings (transitive)	`clsPolicySecurity` construction	Authorization/access-control stored-procedure lookups (group membership, loss-control book, group-policy list) fail.
`oracle.manageddataaccess.client` / `DbProviderFactories` registration	Config file section	Application/library startup	Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver provider cannot be resolved; all Oracle connectivity across the application fails.
`xpressionsoutputdocumentspath`, `documentGeneratorServiceUrl`, `documentMSMQPath`, `idmFilePath`, `sqlReportingServiceUrl`	Environment API settings	Letter/print/report generation	Correspondence generation, document distribution (MSMQ), and report preview/printing fail or use invalid paths/endpoints.
`imagingapiurl`	Environment API setting	Request (first `ClaimImageApiClient` access)	Claim image retrieval fails.

Environment variance¶

Setting key	Varies by environment	Notes
`EnvironmentConfigKeys.OracleDatabase`	Yes	Oracle database/environment name is inherently environment-specific.
`legalapi.url` / `cc.ccclaimdataapiurl` / `cc.matter.api.url.v1` / `cc.activitydata.api.url.v1` / `cc.claimdata.api.url.v1` / `imagingapiurl` / `documentGeneratorServiceUrl` / `sqlReportingServiceUrl`	Yes	Service endpoint URLs differ per dev/test/staging/production host.
`legalapi.creds` / `cc.gwcreds`	Yes	Credentials are environment-specific and stored securely (`GetSecureConfigSetting`).
`BDS_USER` / `bdsDatabase` / `BDS_DATABASENAME`	Yes	SQL Server BDS connection parameters vary per environment.
`documentMSMQPath` / `idmFilePath`	Yes*	Host/environment-specific paths; inferred from naming, not directly confirmed for `idmFilePath`.
`ApplicationHost`	Yes	Static per-deployment host identifier (`np15` in the current `Web.config`); would differ across environments/hosts.
`oracle.manageddataaccess.client` / `DbProviderFactories` registration	No	Fixed driver-registration configuration tied to the referenced package version, not environment-varying.

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
