R-A103008-03 UPDATE: Retail Processing
SHORT DESCRIPTION: ERCOT
experienced an internal system processing issue Thursday, October 30, 2008, from
3:18 PM through 9:31 PM. As a result, duplicated transactions or possibly
bad/invalid data was forwarded to several Market Participants.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: CRs and
TDSPs

LONG DESCRIPTION: ERCOT
experienced an internal system processing issue on October 30, 2008, from 3:18
PM through 9:31 PM. As a result,
duplicated transactions or possibly bad/invalid data was forwarded to Market
Participants.
Some of these
transactions may have contained a “TS Code” relating to a Mass
Transition.
There is
currently no Mass Transition taking place.
After further
analysis, ERCOT has determined that there were 1,033,762 transactions in 71,270
files that were sent out in error.
ERCOT has
provided a spreadsheet to summarize the potential market impact. We hope this will aid Market Participants
with their clean-up efforts.
ERCOT
continues to perform the analysis to determine which transactions were
duplicated or invalid. Duplicates for the purposes of this analysis are
transactions that have the same ESIID, Original transaction number, and Tran
type as a transaction previously sent.
The transaction ID may or may not match the original transaction
received. Invalid transactions are
those that either does not match a service order previously submitted, or match
a transaction previously submitted but the outbound response does not match what
occurred originally.
The analysis
is being worked based on the scenarios most likely to create out-of-synch
situations between ERCOT and the Market Participants. As the analysis is completed, ERCOT will
begin logging MarkeTrak issues.
ERCOT will provide additional information as it becomes
available.
The breakdown
by transaction type is as follows:
