Configuration settings

This library's own configuration footprint is minimal: one Environment API key drives an external Guidewire-adjacent API client, environment branching is used twice for non-Production email-safety behavior, and one custom Oracle provider-registration section is declared in Web.config/app.config. All Oracle database connectivity is inherited from the shared BOF DataLayer/Connection framework infrastructure rather than configured locally.

Configuration retrieval methods

Method	Class / Interface	Namespace	Usage pattern
GetConfigSetting(String)	IEnvironmentService (accessed via the inherited EnvironmentService member exposed through the BOF base-class chain)	SAIF.Core.Services (interface)	Called once in LegalManagerBase.New to resolve a plain-text API base URL used to construct an ApiClient.
GetApplicationEnvironment()	AppGlobal.EnvironmentService (IEnvironmentService, static accessor)	SAIF.Framework.Security	Called directly (not through a per-instance EnvironmentService member) to branch behavior between ApplicationEnvironment.Prod and non-production environments; returns an enum member rather than a keyed setting value.

Environment API settings

Settings retrieved via IEnvironmentService (centralized environment configuration service).

Setting key	Method	Data type	Purpose	Consuming class	Source
cc.ccclaimdataapiurl	GetConfigSetting	String (URL)	Base URL used to register the "ccclaimdataapi" entry in DPI.ApiClients, used for outbound Guidewire-adjacent claim-data API calls.	LegalManagerBase (constructor)	SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalManagerBase.vb

In addition to the keyed setting above, GetApplicationEnvironment() (non-keyed environment classification) is called at 2 sites:

Consumer	Purpose	Source
clsAssignmentManager.Testing (read-only property)	Exposes whether the running environment is non-Production, used to construct clsAssignmentProcess in "testing" mode outside Production*.	SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsAssignmentManager.vb
clsScheduleManager.SendDEFEmail	Gates recipient-address redirection for Defense Evaluation Form (DEF) reminder emails outside Production.	SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalNet\clsScheduleManager.vb

AppSettings (Web.config)

No ConfigurationManager.AppSettings calls and no <appSettings> section are present in this library's Web.config or app.config. This catalog is empty for SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal.

Database connection configuration

No keyed connection strings are read by this library's own code. Database context is set programmatically through the shared BOF DataLayer infrastructure rather than a config-file connection string.

Connection name	Provider	Retrieval method	Purpose	Source
(unnamed — BOF DataLayer context)	Oracle (ODP.NET Managed Driver)	Set programmatically: LegalManagerBase.New/OnInitialize sets DataLayer.Database = inDatabase (the database identifier is supplied by the caller, not read from this library's config) and DataLayer.DBUser = "LGN" (a literal BOF portal "DB user" tag)*.	Selects the Oracle connection/database context for this library's data access via SAIF.BOF.Framework.Connection.	SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\LegalManagerBase.vb

Secure settings

No GetSecureConfigSetting calls or hash/encryption utility usage were found in this library. This catalog is empty for SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal.

Custom configuration sections

Section name	Handler type	Purpose	Source
oracle.manageddataaccess.client	OracleInternal.Common.ODPMSectionHandler, Oracle.ManagedDataAccess	Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver configuration-section registration in <configSections>; no populated section body — the actual provider registration is supplied via the <system.data><DbProviderFactories> block in the same files.	SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\Web.config, SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal\app.config

Both Web.config and app.config also register the Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.Client provider factory under <system.data><DbProviderFactories> (replacing the default entry via <remove> then <add>); app.config additionally carries <assemblyBinding>/<bindingRedirect> entries for Newtonsoft.Json, System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe, and System.Text.Json (standard assembly-version redirects, not application settings).

Transitive configuration (from dependencies)

No transitive configuration keys required by referenced libraries or packages were identified for this library.

Configuration dependencies

Dependency	Type	Required at	Impact if missing
cc.ccclaimdataapiurl	Environment API key	Object construction (LegalManagerBase.New)	The ccclaimdataapi API client entry cannot be registered; any Guidewire-adjacent claim-data API call routed through it would fail*.
oracle.manageddataaccess.client / DbProviderFactories registration	Config file section	Startup (ADO.NET provider load)	The Oracle ODP.NET Managed Driver provider cannot be resolved, and all Oracle database access in this library would fail*.
BOF DataLayer.Database / DataLayer.DBUser	Programmatic framework state (not config-file driven)	Runtime, per manager instantiation	Data-access calls would target the wrong database/DB-user context or fail if not set by the caller*.
