NOTICE TYPE:
M-A051110-01 Extracts
SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Application Programming Interface (API) Query Results (pi.ercot.com) returning
data other than requested
INTENDED AUDIENCE:
Market Participants
DAY AFFECTED:
April 21, 2010 to current
LONG
DESCRIPTION:
Application Programming Interface (API) queries (pi.ercot.com) have been
returning an index of files of Market Participant DUNS Numbers, Company Names,
Filenames and Report IDs to Market Participant submitters beyond the intended
Market Participant file request. This issue has affected both Wholesale and
Retail Market Participants.
After
researching the issue, ERCOT has determined that no Protected Information was
visible and that extract data was not shared because of Digital Certificate
protections. At this time, ERCOT does not believe any ERCOT Protocols were
violated since the contents of the extracts were not shared with other Market
Participants.
ERCOT has identified and is
working to resolve the issue. Market Participants will be notified with
the implementation date and upon final resolution.
ACTION
REQUIRED:
If any Market Participant determines that Protected Information has been
shared, please contact your assigned ERCOT Account Manager immediately.
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].
