IT Update – Texas Market Link(Portal Replacement Project Phase 1)
• Portal was re-launched as planned on December 3 after successful completion of market testing and stress/load testing, however, issues were encountered and the old Portal was reinstated during the early hours of the next morning.
– TML was online for 10 hours from Dec 3 7:20pm through Dec 4 5:15am the next morning.
– Users were able to access the new TML system during that time– During the brief operation, TML experienced web service issues that
created technical issues in the background, but did not impact Market Operations.
– An IT decision to revert back to the old Portal was made and executed at 5:15am to minimize operational risk.
– Market notified by Client Relations that morning.
• Post-mortem analysis is underway to identify the issues and to assess the next re-launch approach.
• Any tml.ercot.com requests are being redirected to portal.ercot.com.

Pre-TX Set 1.5 Data Cleanup
Background:ERCOT identified “In Review”, “Scheduled” and “Canceled with Exception with Meter Reads” that were not completed from early 2002 to April 11, 2003.
RMS Vote, July 17th, 2003:Recommend RMS direct ERCOT to completely clean-up by August 13th, 2003 the Pre-Tx Set 1.5 In Review, Scheduled and Cancel With Exception that have been identified and sent to the market participants which should include cancels with CR approvals. ERCOT will provide at August RMS full statistics involving market participants broken down per issue type. ERCOT is directed that if the TDSP provides file names, ERCOT will locate and re-process if it is a valid transaction. RMS directs the TDSPs and CRs to provide transactions or information necessary to achieve the completion of the data clean-up.

Ongoing Transaction Data Clean Up
• Clean-up Process Steps• Completed Items – Next Steps• Status Report
15
Ongoing Transaction Data Clean-up
Clean-up Process Steps:
1. ERCOT runs the query and defines the Action Items needed a) In-Review with Meter Read: Notify TDSP and request 814_04/25
then transaction will complete. (Date Range equals or greater than 07/01/01.)
b) Scheduled No Meter Read: Notify TDSP and request 867 completing transaction. (Date Range equals or greater then 07/01/01.)
c) Cancel With Exception (CWE) with Meter Read: Notify CR and TDSP and find out if they thought the transaction had completed. If so – take corrective action. (Date Range is 04/12/03 to 08/31/03.)
d) Cancelled Permit Not Received with Meter Read: Notify CR and TDSP and find out if they thought the transaction had completed. If so – take corrective action. (Date Range is 04/12/03 to 08/31/03.)
2. ERCOT distributes the lists to MP who owe the follow-up action.3. MP Responds and ERCOT coordinates the clean-up activities.4. ERCOT to report Monthly to RMS.
16
Ongoing Transaction Data Clean-up
Completed Items :
• October 20, 2003: ERCOT sends out new lists to CRs and TDSPs
• October 29, 2003: TDSPs send analysis to CR
• November 4, 2003: CRs respond to TDSPs and coordinate final response to ERCOT
• ERCOT received responses from all TDSPs except Sharyland by November 7th
• RMS approved a target deadline of December 12 for completing this activity
Next Steps:
• ERCOT to coordinate corrective actions to TDSP
• ERCOT will continue to report progress at each RMS meting

Customer Protection and 814_08 Issue
• Background and Completed Items• Matrix and Progress Report• Other Status Items and Next Steps
19
BackgroundERCOT has determined that there was an issue with the 814_08 manual-processing tool related to the cancel by customer objection process. While ERCOT systems were updated appropriately, 972 ESI IDs (spanning the August 2002 through July 2003 time frame) were identified where ERCOT has been unable to confirm that the TDSP was sent the 814_08 cancel.
Completed Items• All Scenario 1 instances that could be worked have been worked.
ERCOT still has approximately 35 that need further clarification from TDSPs
• 41 FasTrak issues:─ 20 Resolved (spanning 32 switches)─ 20 In Progress (some dialog has occurred)─ 3 Not Started (no feedback)

Other Status Items• Matrix of FasTrak issues not yet resolved provided to RMS Chair/Vice
Chair on Nov 6th and Dec 4th - included CR names• ERCOT has “processed” all email exchanges related to FT issues as of
12/4/03 • Concern that ERCOT is not being informed of “resolution” in some
cases.
Next Steps• ERCOT to continue to escalate missing responses• ERCOT to complete manual corrections by related to Scenario 1 • CRs and TDSPs make decisions on outstanding FasTrak issues and
provide response to ERCOT
Customer Protection Period and 814.08
24
SituationERCOT periodically receives 867_03 Finals and 867_04s for service orders that are Canceled in ERCOT systems. The Service Order Statuses that are considered Canceled are: Canceled (manually or concurrent
processing), Canceled by Customer Request, Canceled by Customer Objection, Canceled Permit Not Received, Canceled with Exception, Unexecutable and Rejected by TDSP. This can indicate an out-of-sync condition between the TDSP and ERCOT.

26
Proactive Measure:• ERCOT will compile transaction data related to the situation described
above and on a weekly basis submit an ERCOT initiated FasTrak issue with the TDSP identified as the Resolving Party.
• The TDSP is to provide a response for each FasTrak line item within the issue spreadsheet:1. The service orders are Canceled in the TDSPs system - the TDSP should
update the FasTrak issue spreadsheet accordingly. No further action is necessary.
2. The service orders are Complete in the TDSPs system - identifying an out-of-sync condition with ERCOT. The TDSP would then initiate an effort to clear the out-of-sync condition. (see ERCOT proposal for resolving out-of-sync conditions)
Timing and Implementation:• ERCOT initiated this process on November 7, 2003 • Each Friday thereafter, ERCOT has provided a list to the TDSPs via
FasTrak containing data for 867s received against Canceled Service Orders for the previous seven days
• ERCOT is awaiting RMS direction for process completion
867s received on Canceled Service Orders
27
Considerations for clean-up of Out-of-Sync Situations :• CRs receive both completing and cancellation information on service
orders and should initiate an inquiry to the TDSP any time they see both on the same service order (they should not wait for this process)
• Additionally, CRs who submit an enrollment transaction receive a Service Order extract identifying the ERCOT Siebel status of the transaction
• Use of a “modified” Inadvertent issue process has not been a great success in the missing 08 clean-up effort
• Precise rules allow for definitive understanding of how each Market Player will respond but does not circumvent the ability for ad-hoc corrections
867s received on Canceled Service Orders
Cancel Reason Cancel ProcessCancelled CR requested with TDSP approval, Concurrent Processing, TDSP requested
Customer Request CR submitted 814_08 to ERCOT and TDSP responded with 814_09 Accept
Customer Objection Customer canceled switch via objection process, per Protocol

Rejected by TDSP TDSP responded to 814_03/24 from ERCOT with 04/25 reject, cancel per ProtocolUnexecutable TDSP responded with an 814_28 09, cancelled per Protocol
28
ERCOT Proposal for Handling Out-of-Sync Conditions :
For: ▪ Canceled Canceled by Customer Request Canceled by Customer Objection Unexecutable Rejected by the TDSP
Process: The TDSP will cancel the service order in their system.
For: ▪ Canceled Permit Not Received Canceled with Exception
Process: When TDSP indicates service order should be completed, ERCOT will locate and reprocess transactions identified as sent by the TDSP to complete a service order. (May require TDSP to re-send transaction)
NOTE: FasTrak is the mechanism to handle exceptions to the above policy

NAESB EDM v1.6 Issues
Issues:1. NAESB EDM v1.6 Standards Compliance
• MIME content-type in the payload, e.g. “Content-Type:application/EDI-X12”. Is an identifier that follows the recommendation of Internet Standards RFC 1767, for “MIME Encapsulation of EDI Data” . TDTWG made this an optional not used element which in not optional in the NAESB EDM v 1.6 Standard as published by the NAESB organization.
• Issue has been sent to TDTWG for discussion and resolution at the December 10th, 2003 meeting.

Business Problem• Existing NFI logic forces an unreasonable amount
of dependency on labor intensive workarounds.• Execution of workarounds are causing
synchronization issues between market participants.
• Lack of synchronization leads to improper billing and mismanagement of customer expectations
Solution• All valid transactions will be accepted and
processed based on a set of market rules.• Drop notifications will be sent at a point in time
where the proper recipient can be positively identified.
• Rule based cancellations are sent on a pre-determined timeline with enough time for the recipient to react.

Load Research Sampling ProjectHigh Level Summary
• PUCT Order 25516 purpose: “This rule is necessary to facilitate retail competition in the ERCOT area. Since a large number of customers’ wholesale obligations are settled based on load profiles, it is imperative that the profiles be as accurate as possible.... More accurate profiles will enhance the retail market by providing for more accurate settlements.”
• ERCOT will create Load Profiles for each point in the sample matrix (including TDSP, rate type, weather zone, TDSP rate class, voltage type) based on sample points defined by ERCOT and installation by TDSPs
• TDSPs will install IDRs on all agreed sample points for the Load Research Sampling project (can be cost based IDRs that are already installed).
• ERCOT will make Load Profile data available to REPs and participating Muni/Co-ops (included is customer class, TDU service area, weather zone, and interval usage)
• ERCOT/TDSPs will NOT provide any customer identification information (including ESIID, address, etc) to REPs and participating Muni/Co-ops.
• ERCOT will work with the market to develop processes and procedures for Load Research Sampling Project (including IDR meter replacements, VEE standards, data transport method, data file types, data frequency)

LRS PROJECT UPDATES
• Market Decisions for LRS Project– Incoming IDR files (load profile data) from TDSPs will be in .LS
format
– Incoming IDR data will be transported by FTP Replacement protocol (TDTWG recommendation)
– Completion of IDR installations by TDSPs could take up to 6 months from sample selection decision
– ESIID with meter number information will be provided from TDSPs to ERCOT by a .CSV template
– A daily Ack/Nack summary report should be generated by ERCOT for all inbound IDR information for each TDSP
50
LRS PROJECT NOTES AND ISSUES
• Target design and select TDSP samples date has slipped from 11/20/2003 to 1/5/2004 (target). Slip due to hardware and software constraints
• Time period from initial TDSP design sample to finalized sample selection will be used to review sample selection data, review viability for IDRs in the field, and TDSPs sample selection confirmation
• Each TDSP will provide an installation schedule for IDR meters (1/31/2004), and installation shall be an on-going process for 6 months post sample design selection
• Target IDR installation complete date based on TDSP IDR installation dependencies and finalized sample design. Additional constraint due to Direct Load Control Project not currently taken into account (project currently on hold pending PUC approval)
