Using IPolicyManager

[chris.brady]

I could use a bit of help with this.

I've tried to use this interface to search through policies by state or lookup code, but I'm getting an "Specified method not supported" error. I even get this error when just trying to enumerate the Policies collection through the debugger.

Are we doing this right?

Code: Select all

IPolicyManager pm = Sps.GetService<IPolicyManager>();
IPolicy p = pm.Policies.FirstOrDefault(x => x.LookupCode == "XYZ";

Supposing we figure out the problem, is there any way to access rate table information? IPolicy doesn't really provide a lot of policy information.

Have you tried this:

Code: Select all

IPolicyManager pm = Sps.GetService<IPolicyManager>();
IPolicy p = pm.Policies.Where(x => x.LookupCode == "XYZ").ToList().FirstOrDefault();

I just tried the sample code and I'm also getting "Specified method not supported". Was this resolved?

Please provide more details. Do you have a callstack and the exact code you're using?

[tmeisinger]

Here you go in VB.NET:

Code: Select all

Dim creds As NetworkCredential = New NetworkCredential("api", "*****", "[SERVER]")

Using ss As New SelectServer(New Uri("http:\\softpro-app:8080"), creds)

    Dim reason As String = String.Empty
    If ss.TryAuthenticate(reason) Then
        Dim pm As IPolicyManager = ss.GetService(Of IPolicyManager)()
        Dim p As IPolicy = pm.Policies.Where(Function(x) x.LookupCode = "Loan Policy").ToList().FirstOrDefault()
    End If
End Using

Callstack?

Is that what you're looking for?

The IPolicyManager API requires the consumer to specify what profile to use when querying for results.

Please try something like this:

Code: Select all

IProfileManager profileManager = Sps.GetService<IProfileManager>();
IPolicyManager pm = Sps.GetService<IPolicyManager>();
IPolicy p = pm.Policies.HavingProfile(profileManager.ActiveProfile).Where(x => x.LookupCode == "XYZ").ToList().FirstOrDefault();

Unfortunately, the exception message you have been provided with is not adequately conveying this situation. I will log a bug in our tracker in this regard.

By the way, when the Order leverages the IPolicyManager, it uses its OwnershipProfile property. If you are trying to replicate the behavior of the application, you will want to use this as well rather than the ActiveProfile.

Much better, thank you.
