3 Daily Call – 10:30 8 Days Until Go-Live General Updates / Reminder –ERCOT will remove the Market Trials posting Settlement Points and MP Short Names (as of 10/21/2010) today That was a manual posting available only until the automated posting was available on MIS Settlement Points List and Electrical Buses Mapping information may be found under the MIS Operating Day System Conditions portlet MP short names can be found at Landing Page: Direct Link: List of Market Participants in ERCOT Regionhttp:// of Market Participants in ERCOT Region –FAQ: Why a combined cycle resource was not awarded in the DAM, or why DAM transitioned the combined cycle down to a lower configuration at the end of the day. A: The DAM engine studies a 24 hour period, and must respect the resource constraints within that period. DAM must make sure that a resource is capable of shutdown by the last hour of the day/award, so the last hour awarded to a combined cycle resource will be from a shutdown-capable configuration. If no configuration is offered into the DAM that is capable of being shut down directly (this is a RARF parameter), then DAM will not award the resource at all. Similarly, if no configuration is offered into the DAM that is capable of being started up directly, DAM will not award the resource unless it is initially online at the end of the current day.

4 Daily Call – 10:30 8 Days Until Go-Live General Updates / Reminder –Listener URLs ERCOT continues to receive several requests for Listener URL updates ERCOT is asking that all remaining updates to Listener URLs be submitted by EOB tomorrow (11/24/2010) to –Data Access Frequency (Dashboards, Extracts, Reports, etc) All MPs need to review the frequency of which they are downloading / programmatically accessing data from ERCOT systems ERCOT Support Teams are finding several MPs that are accessing reports at an unreasonable frequency For example, some Daily Reports (generated once in a 24-hour period) are being hit 150,000+ times / daily by some QSEs This will assist ERCOT in gauging post Go-Live performance and sizing / scaling of systems going forward to support reasonable data access behavior If there are questions on the frequency of a particular report, MPs can access the ERCOT Market Information List (EMIL), currently posted at: (Under Key Documents):
