## Topic 1 Queue Interface Overview

### Queue Interface Purpose

The purpose of the Queue Interface is to enable interaction between Over the Counter Channel Application (OTCnet) and military agencies’ internal systems. The Queue Interface will be used by military agencies that utilize the Deployable Disbursing System (DDS) database bridge. It provides a single transaction input point and prevents data entry errors and discrepancies between both systems. Additional information includes:

OTCnet feeds data one way to the Queue Interface

Data is sent to the Queue when the following actions occur:

· A scanned check is saved

· A check is updated

· A check is voided

· A batch is created

· A batch is closed

· A batch is approved

· A batch is uploaded (for the OTCnet Offline check capture application)

· An updated batch total appears

· OTCnet logs any action that has been successfully sent to the Queue Interface

· After a batch is closed or data is changed within a batch, the updated batch data and the updated item data are transmitted to the Queue

· Once an agency’s Queue Interface is enabled for an OTC Endpoint, all transactions processed after enablement are assumed to be sent to the Queue for Agency access

· If a batch is retransmitted, no items will be sent to the Queue

· Only successfully processed check and batch transactions will be sent to the Queue

· When a successful check transaction is completed to the Queue interface, the following message displays on the page, *DDS Transmission Completed!*

· Unsuccessful transactions with the Queue Interface do not prohibit check and batch processing in OTCnet; however, the following warning message is displayed to the user, *DDS Transaction failed. Invalid DDS data*

· The OTCnet audit log includes Queue transaction status information

### Queue Interface Configuration

To configure the Queue Interface, you must select the endpoint you wish to link to Queue Interface. You must enable **Check Capture** and **Queue Interface**. You also must complete the OTCnet and DDS interface configuration by performing some additional actions, found in the DDS Interface Setup Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).
