ACTION REQUIRED:  Market Participants who utilize MarkeTrak API will need to update their .wsdl and .xsd files for use after this Retail Release is completed.  The updated versions are attached.  

 

Please be aware, if you use the MarkeTrak API, you must keep your existing code for the Inadvertent Switch workflow.  This existing code will need to be utilized in order to update old Inadvertent Switch issues that were submitted prior to August 18, 2008. 

  

The attached Bulk Insert Appendix A will need to be used to submit a Bulk Insert issue following this release. ERCOT will not supply the bulk insert templates for Release 2.

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:  Due to ‘sandbox’ requests from Market Participants involved in the Phase 2 project and the size of development and testing efforts, ERCOT has divided coding for the Release on August 16, 2008 into two sections. As a result the .wsdl and .xsd for the second ‘bucket’ of requirements to be implemented on August 16, 2008 will be provided in a separate Market notice on Monday, June 23, 2008.

 

The Release 2A .wsdl, .xsd, and Bulk Insert Appendix A will be posted tomorrow, Tuesday, June 3rd to the MarkeTrak Information page (http://www.ercot.com/services/client_svcs/mktrk_info/) and the PR70007_01 project page (http://www.ercot.com/services/projects/current/70007_01/).
