INITIAL: Extracts - Retail - NIDR 867_03 transactions receiving error codes 26
and 27
NOTICE DATE:
December 31, 2008
NOTICE TYPE: R-A123108-01
– INITIAL: Extracts - Retail
SHORT DESCRIPTION: NIDR
867_03 transactions receiving error codes 26 and 27 were reported in the IDR
867_03 Activity Report instead of the NIDR 867_03 Activity Report.
INTENDED AUDIENCE: CRs and
TDSPs
DAY AFFECTED: December 14,
2008 through December 30, 2008
LONG
DESCRIPTION: The Non-Interval Data Recorder (NIDR)
867_03 transactions receiving error codes 26 and 27 were reported in the
Interval Data Recorder (IDR) 867_03 Activity Report instead of the NIDR 867_03
Activity Report. Additional details about the error codes can be found on
the ercot.com website at http://www.ercot.com/services/userguides/
under Retail and 867_03 Error Codes Table.
ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION: The root cause of this issue was related
to the implementation of the 80028 Distributed Generation project. A variable
for these codes specific to NIDR transactions was no longer being populated to
include the codes in the NIDR 867_03 Activity Report. The null value for the
variable caused the NIDR errors to be included in the IDR 867_03 Activity
Report.
A code fix was
implemented on December 30, 2008. As of today, December 31, 2008, the reporting
is back to normal and the error codes are in the appropriate reports.
ERCOT will
continue to work to compile the error codes 26 and 27 occurring from December
14, 2008 to December 30, 2008 and report them back to TDSPs in a consolidated
report. An updated notice will be sent when the supplemental reports are
available.
