Retrieve

This operation is the public entry point derived managers' UI code calls to (re)load screen data, but it never reports success back to the caller.

Field	Value
Operation ID	OP-CLM-7
Trigger	ClaimAppManager.Retrieve() call
Inputs	none
Outputs	Always False
Primary components	ClaimAppManager.Retrieve, ClaimAppManager.OnValidContext
Entry point	SAIF.Application.Claim/ClaimAppManager.vb

Steps

1. Evaluate ValidContext, which calls OnValidContext(): ContextSet and SecurityRole <> NoAccess and ClaimData.IsValid (BR-CLM-019).
2. If the context is valid, call OnRetrieve() — the derived manager's screen-data retrieval (abstract in this library).
3. Retrieve() assigns no return value on any path, so it always returns False regardless of outcome (BR-CLM-020).

Process flow

The following diagram visualizes this operation's control flow.

flowchart TD
    Start([Retrieve called]) --> Valid{ValidContext?}
    Valid -->|Yes| OnRetrieve["OnRetrieve: derived screen<br>load"]
    Valid -->|No| Skip[Skip retrieval]
    OnRetrieve --> ReturnFalse([Return False])
    Skip --> ReturnFalse

Failure and edge-case behavior

• Callers cannot use the Boolean return value to detect success; they must instead judge success from Message, ValidContext, or manager state.*
