transmission anytime on Feb 28/March 1 ---------------------- Forwarded by Cara Semperger/PDX/ECT on 02/14/2001 02:55 PM --------------------------- From: Andy Rodriquez/ENRON@enronXgate on 02/14/2001 04:44 PM CST To: Bill Rust/HOU/ECT@ECT, Christi L Nicolay/HOU/ECT@ECT, Lloyd Will/HOU/ECT@ECT, Kayne Coulter/HOU/ECT@ECT, Corry Bentley/HOU/ECT@ECT, Cara Semperger/PDX/ECT@ECT, Tim Heizenrader/PDX/ECT@ECT, Charles Yeung/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Subject: OASIS Version 1.4 Cutover Just to make sure you are all aware, there is going to be an OASIS outage coming up at the end of the month. As I understand it, all S&CP compliant OASIS nodes will be offline from 12 noon Wednesday, Feb 28th, to midnight of Feb 28/March 1 (12 hours). All the above will be local time, so expect Eastern Time nodes to be out one hour earlier, Mountain Time nodes to be out one hour later, and Pacific Time nodes to be out 2 hours later. The outage is to upgrade OASIS from version 1.3 to 1.4. This will mostly be affecting the computer-to-computer template methods used by programs that interact with OASIS. Standard web interfaces should only be effected in minor ways, if at all. The plan is that all transactions will be taken by phone or fax during this time, and posted on the OASIS as soon as they are back up and time permits. I would suggest that the following actions be taken: 1.) Forward this message to Enron employee that buys or sells transmission or ancillary services on the OASIS. 2.) Forward this message to any developers that have written custom tools to interact with OASIS nodes. Remember, developers don't always know what is going on in the industry. 3.) Begin mentioning this to Transmission Providers NOW to make sure they are aware of this change and understand that they WILL have to work with fax and verbal reservations. Try to contact everyone you do business with and get their commitments to address this before it develops into something nasty. 4.) Be prepared to deal with this on February 28th. If you have time, see if you can do some test scenarios with our more important TPs, to make sure we understand what information they are going to want for their processes. Will they have a special fax form to fill out? Will they accept only verbal requests? Hopefully, this will be a smooth transition. However, we need to be prepared in case it is not. This will impact all 1.3 S&CP Compliant OASIS nodes. I'm not sure who those are, but I believe it will impact the following nodes: MAPP OASIS SPP OASIS (Holding a Workshop for 1.4 on February 16th) NEPOOL OASIS (test node: http://nepooldev.jtsin.com/OASIS) AEP OASIS ECAR OASIS MAIN OASIS VACAR OASIS Southern OASIS (test site: http://test.weboasis.com/) Florida OASIS (FLOASIS) (test site: http://oasis.siemens-psc.com/) Idaho Power OASIS Northwest OASIS Pacificorp OASIS Rocky Mountain Area OASIS (RMAO) Southwest OASIS (test site: http://www3.swoasis.com/OASIS/SRP/data2 login = studentx Password = tx) Western OASIS PJM OASIS (test site: http://oasisstaging.pjm.com ) It may also impact other nodes I am not aware of. Many of these will have test sites up soon, so watch the OASIS for notices regarding them. Andrew Rodriquez Senior Specialist - Enron NetWorks andy.rodriquez@enron.com 713-345-3771
