NOTICE TYPE:  R-A032309-03 UPDATE: Outage – Retail - MarkeTrak

CLASSIFICATION:  CRs and TDSPs

SHORT DESCRIPTION:  Since the implementation of  SIR 12042 (the auto log-out functionality in MarkeTrak) on Tuesday, March 24, 2009, ERCOT has received several inquiries regarding a prompt requesting a User ID and password to regain access to MarkeTrak after long periods of inactivity.

DAY AFFECTED:  March 24, 2009 to current    

LONG DESCRIPTION:  Since the implementation of  SIR 12042 (the auto log-out functionality in MarkeTrak) on Tuesday, March 24, 2009, ERCOT has received several inquiries regarding a prompt requesting a User ID and Password to regain access to MarkeTrak after long periods of inactivity. 

ERCOT implemented this SIR to alleviate the high volume of users unable to access MarkeTrak due to the error message “No Concurrent licenses are available”.

When MarkeTrak users are auto logged off from the active license pool and activity resumes in MarkeTrak, the user will be presented with a pop-up log in screen asking for a User ID and a password.  This applet, as well as the original MarkeTrak browser should both be closed, and a new browser session opened to restore the authentication required to use MarkeTrak. 

If you continue to have difficulty after following this process, please contact the ERCOT Helpdesk.

CONTACT:  If you have any questions, please contact your ERCOT Account Manager. You may also call the general ERCOT Client Services phone number at (512) 248-3900 or contact ERCOT Client Services via e-mail at [log in to unmask].
