Subject: M-A122208-02 REMINDER: Release - Retail 12:00 PM Saturday, January 24, 2009 through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2009

NOTICE DATE:  January 14, 2009
NOTICE TYPE:  M-A122208-02 REMINDER:  Release - Retail
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT has an on-cycle Retail Release planned for 12:00 PM Saturday, January 24, 2009 through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2009.
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  All Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED:  12:00 PM Saturday, January 24, 2009 through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2009.
LONG DESCRIPTION:  ERCOT has an on-cycle Retail Release scheduled from 12:00 PM Saturday, January 24, 2009 through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2009.  For reference, four Market impacting SIRs, three non-Market impacting SIRs, and one non-Market impacting project are included in the attachment.
ERCOT will also use the normal MarkeTrak maintenance window beginning 7:00 PM Friday, January 23, 2009 through 12:00 AM Monday, January 26, 2009 to implement PR-70007_01 - MarkeTrak Enhancements, Release 4.  MarkeTrak service availability is 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM during retail business days.
ERCOT will implement SIR 12140 to enhance the Customer Registration Database with a change from Active Directory (AD) to Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). This is to resolve the Market Participant Dispute function, which currently is not operating properly. ERCOT has had a workaround in place, and this enhancement will be a permanent solution.
ACTION REQUIRED:  Market Participants who utilize MarkeTrak API will need to update their .wsdl and .xsd files for use after this Retail Release.  The updated versions are attached.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  During the outage the following functions will be affected:
•        Market Participants utilizing NAESB to send/receive transactions to/from ERCOT will NOT be able to send/receive transactions to/from ERCOT during the outage.  This includes all retail transactions.
•        867 transactions will NOT be forwarded during the outage.
•        997 Functional Acknowledgements will NOT be sent during the outage.
•        Components of the TML and Commercial API will NOT be available including:
•        Find ESI ID
•        Find Transaction
•        Submit Transactions
•        USA Functionalities
•        Report Explorer, including
•        Reports
•        Extracts
•        Invoices
•        Settlement Statements
•        Extract Scheduler

•        Texas Renewables – www.texasrenewables.com<http://www.texasrenewables.com/>
