TCH participants task

This task receives TCH participants from FTM The Clearing House Real Time Payments and adds or updates them in the participant directory.

The TCH workflow in The Clearing House Real Time Payments creates an XML file that contains information about the TCH participants that need to be added or changed. The file is periodically sent to Digital Payments. This task uses the information in the XML file to update the participants in the FTM database.

The following XML is an example of the file of TCH participants that is sent by The Clearing House Real Time Payments.

Scheduling the task

FTM The Clearing House Real Time Payments sends the XML file of TCH participants every night. Automate the processing of this file by scheduling the task configuration to run on a recurring basis, such as every night. To eliminate contention with other application processes, schedule it to run during periods of low work volume.
