MP Visits
• Purpose– ‘Root out’ all sources of pain associated with Move-Ins
– Get each MPs opinion of worst problems
– Discuss possible solutions
– Find out if identified problems are common among all types of market participants
– Discuss concepts with consumer advocacy group
– Verify that all participants are dedicated to solving the problems and aware of the possible systemic impacts
– Discuss deployment of workarounds (Safety Net, Same CR Move-Ins, etc.)
10
MP Visits
• Audience– TDSPs (5 - CenterPoint, AEP, Oncor, Entergy, TNMP)
– AREPs (4 - Reliant Retail, AEP, TXU ES, Entergy)
– CREPs (6 - Coral, GEXA, Republic, TCE, Constellation New Energy, Green Mountain)
– Vendors (2 - Exolink, EC Power)
– Consumer Protection (1 - Public Utility Council)
11
MP Visits
• Results– Identified several issues that were not previously identified
– Confirmed several common problems across many Market Participants
– Discussed concepts for solving identified issues
– Developed an average ‘pain’ level and frequency for major issues based on input from each MP
– Discussed several concepts with consumer advocacy group to verify compliance with Customer Protection
– Revealed inconsistencies and improper executions of workarounds
12
MIMO Workshop
• Methods– Three type of issues; System, Execution, & Market Gaps
– Two criteria for identifying order of discussion for issues• pain level• quantity of ESI Ids affected.
– The issues that are being pursued:1) those that rank high on the pain level and quantity affected and are easy to repair2) those that either are easy to fix but don’t rank high on the measurements or rank high
on the measurements and are difficult to fix. 3) The last category (rank low on pain and quantity, but are difficult to fix) are those
that are most likely to remain as workarounds for a longer period of time.
– Three time frames for solutions:• Short-Term (solutions to be implemented as soon as possible and prior to next April)• Mid-Term (solutions that can be implemented next year after April)• Long-Term (solutions that can be implemented after 1/1/2004)
13
MIMO Workshop
• Results– 32 Concepts were discussed as follows:
• 7 Concepts were eliminated for various reasons
• 1 Concept was determined as addressed in Version 1.5
• 23 Concepts were discussed and addressed as follows
– 4 Concepts were tabled until additional information can be obtained
– 19 Concepts were discussed at length and proposed for possible recommendation to RMS
» 10 Short-Term
» 9 Mid-Term
• 1 additional concept was not discussed (lack of time)
14
RMS Approved Recommendations
• 6 of 10 Short Term Recommendations were subsequently approved at RMS– Safety Net Guidelines
• Guidelines to help the Safety Net process run smoothly and to avoid unnecessary manual intervention (to be implemented ASAP)
– Expediting ESI ID Creates• Help minimize occurrence of rejects for Invalid ESI ID when issue is timing (to
be implemented ASAP. Each TDSP to detail what steps they are taking) – ERCOT Monitoring
• Pro-active monitoring of rejected transactions and BPIs that are aged (to be implemented ASAP)
– Programmatically prohibit back-dated transactions• Minimize occurrences of back-dated Move-Ins and Move-Outs (to
be implemented ASAP) – Effective Date on Meter Number Correction
• Tying meter number to usage to minimize billing problems due to usage failure (TDSPs have already implemented)
– Date Reasonableness at ERCOT • Basic date validation on effective dates done at ERCOT to speed up response to CR (to
be implemented on December 15th)
15
Next Steps• MIMO Taskforce meetings
– November 11 & 12 in Austin
– Following up at RMS with enforcement and follow-ups to approved recommendations
– Taking 7 additional (combination of short and long term) concepts to RMS for vote on November 14
• Recommendations to RMS at December RMS meeting– Potentially 8 additional concepts to be presented for approval
• Release of implementation timelines– Timelines will be developed by MIMO task force for each concept as they are approved by RMS
• Development of Texas Set Change Controls, Protocol Revision Requests, and RFP
• Deployment of Solutions
• Re-Evaluation of Move-In/Move-Out processes
17
GISB 1.4 Update
• RMS agreed at August meeting to move forward with implementing GISB 1.4 at ERCOT
• Internal testing and implementation of a GISB 1.4 interface is underway at ERCOT,
– Production Sign-off scheduled delayed to 11/8• All production components are in place as of 10/11• Testing uncovered errors in outbound transmission requiring a vendor
software patch; will be testing the week of 11/4– Acceptance Testing and Market Participant Testing – 10/15-11/8
• TDTWG is surveyed market participants to finalize migration readiness dates
– Preliminary migration schedule reviewed at 10-4-02 TDTWG – Market Participant migration will begin week of 11-8-02; ERCOT will work
individually with participants in any change of date for testing and migration.– Goal is to complete migration by April 1, 2003

ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT/Market Issues
Issues facing ERCOT and Market Participants…– Market Participants are unable to see their submitted
transactions• CRs do not know status of submitted requests• Unable to easily identify ‘if’, ‘when’, and ‘where’ transaction failures
occur
– ERCOT’s difficulty in identifying failed transactions• Data located throughout multiple databases• Unable to easily determine transaction failure point and cause of failure
– Internal ERCOT system and component health• Unable to easily identify system or component failures • Unable to identify lost transactions when components fail or are restarted
20
ERCOT Data TransparencyERCOT/Market Requirements
What do Market Participants and ERCOT need to know?– PUC
• How is the market performing over time?
– Protocol compliance
– Transaction Success (Business Process)
– Market Participants• What is the status of my transactions?
– Protocol compliance
– Transaction status
– View/Research transactions
21
ERCOT Data TransparencyERCOT/Market Requirements
– ERCOT Retail Market Services• How is ERCOT and the Market performing now and over time?
– Transaction Success
– Protocol compliance
– Backlog Transactions
– State of current processing environment
– Performance throughput and availability
– ERCOT IT• How are ERCOT systems performing now and over time?
– State of current processing environment
– Backlog Transactions
– Performance throughput and availability
22
What do Market Participants and ERCOT need to see?
– Daily update on all CR transactions• All initiating transactions received• All ERCOT responses
– List of all other associated transactions • All requests sent to TDSP• All transactions returned by TDSP
– Timeliness of responses• Transactions both ‘in’ and ‘out’ of protocols
– Failed Transactions• Transactions without a response
– Cancelled Transactions

Database
Provide VISIBILITY into transactions within ERCOT Systems….
• See near “real-time” as well as relevant historical transaction data
• Monitor transaction flows within ERCOT
• Provide current transaction status for Market Participants
• Provide a mechanism to more easily identify Market Participant issues
• Develop operational metrics reports
• Develop Executive Summary reports
• Improve speed and effectiveness of business operations
• Incorporate advanced business logic to proactively identify and resolve issues
25
ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT Interim Solution
ERCOT Interim Internal Solution – ESIID Tracking System (ETS)
• Complete life-cycle view of transactional data …Near-real time updating of ETS database (every 10 minutes)…Transactions are monitored from FTP inbound to FTP outbound…Transactions are purged from database once business process is
complete• Daily reporting of all ‘open’ transactions
…Reports include all internal system component touch points and their respective timestamps
…Reports will identify successful, failed, and out of protocol transactions
…Reports are both ‘batch’ and ‘on-demand’
26
ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT Interim Solution
ERCOT Interim Internal Solution
– Daily reporting of all ‘open’ transactions
• Transaction Flow Report
…Identifies the last system component that the transactions hit and their corresponding timestamps by Global ID
• Transaction Success Report
…Identifies how successful ERCOT was in processing a response transaction
• Protocol Report
…Provides a view of ERCOT’s protocol compliance for each transaction type
27
ERCOT Data Transparency ERCOT Interim Solution
ETS Phase I Progress– Training was conducted for Registration and Data Management staff on access and use of the
system
• Additional training for key ERCOT support staff will be scheduled over the next two weeks
– Began loading database transactions on 10/21 after TRLOG changes were implemented in Paperfree
– During User Acceptance Testing, ETS Reports discovered an 814_18 process that was never re-started after a scheduled outage
– All pertinent Transition, Deployment, and User documentation has been prepared and delivered to transition ETS into production
– ETS Phase 1 is planned for production November, 2002• ERCOT Retail Market Services will begin to utilize ETS functionality
• Ultimate value and impact on problem resolution processed will be evaluated

Market Synchronization Efforts
1) Retailer Synchronization
2) “TDSP as LSE” Clean-up
3) Non Price to Beat
36
• Objective – Address market issues resulting in an out of sync “Rep of Record” between
ERCOT, TDSP, and CR systems for all ESI IDs resulting from market startup/processing issues as well as subsequent workarounds
• Completed– ERCOT identified “Perfect Sync” and “1 Day Perfect” – sent lists to MPs– ERCOT identified out-of-synch categories at Sept 10th design meeting– Task Force identified additional ESI IDs considered “In Sync” – sent lists to MPs– Task Force prioritized 8 categories based upon potential customer impact – ERCOT has sent priority 1 through 6 out-of-sync files to TDSPs and CRs – Weekly conference calls to set file analysis response timelines for TDSPs and
CRs, discussion of progress and open issues – Task Force charged with defining “how to fix” at 10/16/02 RMS meeting – October 25th face-to-face meeting to resolve “how to fix” accomplished little. A
second meeting is planned.• In Progress
– ERCOT compiling and analyzing priority 1 responses out-of-sync files– TDSPs and CRs completing analysis and response to priority 2-6 files

• Objective– Ensure that all ESI ID are converted from the “TDSP as LSE” by the time True-Up
Settlement of February 2002 begins; which is currently scheduled for 12-07-02.
• Completed – ERCOT sent TDSPs list of ESI ID affiliated with
“TDSP as LSE” any time after Feb 01, 2002 – Weekly conference calls with TDSPs (already
takes place with ONCOR and CenterPoint)
• In Progress– TDSPs to provide correct effective date concurrent with usage
record prior to February 01, 2002 or …. identify de-energized/inactive ESI IDs by November 01, 2002
39
Market Synchronization Non Price to Beat
• Objective– Make necessary corrections to ensure that >1MW Customers were switched on
the correct date in January 2002
• Completed Items – Per RMS direction, ERCOT sent lists to each MP for reconciliation:
• Full list of ESI ID in the >1MW project was confirmed
• Still to be fixed list (subset of the full list) was also confirmed
– 1,134 ESI Ids (>1 MW) identified by CRs (meeting the April 30 deadline)
• Number increase attributed to reconciliation of lists with Market Participants
– 1016 (89%) ESI IDs are corrected
– 74 ( 7%) ESI IDs were agreed not to fix by TDSP and CR
• In Progress– 44 (4%) ESI IDs remaining to be fixed
• 39 (was 91) where CR and TDSP agree to fix
• 5 (was 17) where CR and TDSP are not in agreement – CR and TDSP researching

Distribution of ESI IDs where CR and TDSP are not in agreement
• Next Steps– ERCOT to continue to confirm changes in Siebel and Lodestar
– ERCOT is monitoring, suggesting next steps and scheduling calls with TDSPs for remaining 44 ESI IDs
– If any “non agreements” still exist, CR will have to escalate
