NOTICE TYPE:  M-A101211-04 Extracts/Reports - Retail/Wholesale
SHORT DESCRIPTION:  UPDATE - URL change for ERCOT report downloads
INTENDED AUDIENCE:  ERCOT Market Participants who download reports via MIS or EWS
DAYS AFFECTED:  December 7 - 12, 2011
LONG DESCRIPTION:  As a follow up to the URL change issues addressed in Notice M-A101211-03, ERCOT is reinstating the URL change as follows.
Market Information System (MIS) and ERCOT Website Users:

*         On Wednesday, December 7, 2011, the current UI URL for report downloads will change from:

https://mis.ercot.com/misapp/servlets/mirDownload?doclookupid=?
To:

https://mis.ercot.com/misdownload/servlets/mirDownload?doclookupid=?



Market Participants should discontinue use of any saved 'bookmarks' and replace with the updated URLs.

External Web Services (EWS) Users:

*         On Thursday, December 8, 2011, similar to the information provided in Notice M-A051011-07 and in support of upgrading all SSL Certificates to 2048-bit RSA keys, ERCOT is applying an upgrade to the EWS environment. ERCOT is removing the certificate mismatch currently being experienced by APIs hitting MISAPI.ERCOT.COM.

*         On Monday, December 12, 2011, the URL returned from an API query of GetReport List utilizing MISAPI.ERCOT.COM will change from:

https://mis.ercot.com/misapp/servlets/mirDownload?doclookupid=?
To:

https://misapi.ercot.com/misdownload/servlets/mirDownload?doclookupid=?


Market Participants should ensure that any code specifically looking for the certificate mismatch is disabled on December 8, 2011, due to this effort.
