DevOps PBI 196345 Upgrade NuGet DLL to API for COPS

Background:

GALRO currently uses NuGet TCCOPS.dll for COPS. It needs to be updated to use an API for COPS because Moneris will stop processing COPS in October.

Payments using the TCCOPS DLL are already disabled in the GALRO development and acceptance environments, as confirmed by Elad.

• I attempted to test the existing payment process on GALRO development on Friday, August 19th, 2022
  See task 196794 Baseline test of behaviour of GALRO - TCOPS in Development environment.

• The updated code was not yet deployed to Acceptance as of August 25, 2022 and it was not possible to pay for a Mark. The result is the same as per task 196794 Baseline test of behaviour of GALRO - TCOPS in Development environment.

Solution

Visual Studio version used

We used VS 2022.

Getting GALRO running locally:

Please refer to the instructions regarding getting GALRO running locally on the main GALRO external page under "Debug project".

As a general note, the only step that appears to be required at this time is to ensure that the template is present. Refer to the section mentioned above: "Debug project".

• It was also necessary to update the SourceSystemKey token entry in web.config because the existing one contained a “+” sign.

  • I have made this change in the web.config that is used on localhost and this has been merged into the GALRO repos.

Removal of references to TCCOPS.dll

The reference to TCCOPS had to be removed from NuGET and we had to make sure there are no other references to it in the code.

Refer to task 198110 Remove reference to TCCOPS.dll in NuGet

Conversion of Modules and Helpers for Token API

We converted the required helper files from C# to VB.net using the Telerik code converter ( https://converter.telerik.com/ ) The TokenUtility was originally converted from c# to vb too but did not work. See the section “TokenUtility” for the link to the task covering it.

The source link, from Marine, is: https://dev.azure.com/transport-canada/DSD-Internal%20Services-Finance/_git/MVR

We used this code converter:  https://converter.telerik.com/

I also added the documentation/comments to our new GALRO Helper and Module files

see task 196787 Add the documentation/comments to the files for COPS API - GALRO

TokenUtility

The TokenUtility was created in C# since the converted vb version did not work properly.

Please refer to task 198073 TokenUtility in C# (instead of VB)

Payments

See Moneris for card numbers.
