INFORMATION: All
extracts/reports listed above have been posted for March 15-17,
2008.
Root
Cause: The delays in posting
the above listed extracts and reports are due to compounding issues. ERCOT performed a data cleanup on
Friday, March 14, 2008 resulting in the backout and rerun of three Operating
Days. Each job in the delayed batch
had to be manually executed and monitored. On Saturday, the batch execution
times were significantly slower than expected runtimes. On Monday, database
statistics were performed to resolve the batch performance issue. At this time, ERCOT is focusing efforts
on eliminating the one day delay in batch execution. The current plan has the
batch process returned to normal schedule by Monday, March 24, 2008.
