CARMA

Last Updated: 17 Dec 2024

Introduction

CARMA (Caregiver Record Management Application) is a Salesforce application that the VA's Caregivers Program uses to intake, track, and process Form 10-10CG submissions. This page will help you understand how to use this application.

Authentication

This integration uses OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Flow for Server-to-Server Integration via the Restforce API (see Salesforce Docs).

1. Vets API will generate a JWT token.

2. Sign it with a private key (that we generated).

3. Send it to salesforce for verification.

4. Salesforce will use the corresponding cert to validate the token and respond with an access token.

This access token can be used to submit the Form 10-10CG Submission's data, metadata, and attachments.

Logging and stats

Form 10-10CG submissions logs can be found with the message prefix "[Form 10-10CG]". We log the resulting CARMA Case ID on successful submissions and provide context on submissions that are bounced. All other runtime errors should be caught in sentry with the controller_name:caregivers_assistance_claims.

The logfile to use for these queries are:

• dsva-vagov-prod/srv/vets-api/src/log/vets-api-server.log (app log file)

• dsva-vagov-prod/srv/vets-api/src/log/vets-api-worker.log (background jobs)
