Open Issues / Responses
•
How can I configure Citrix to allow me to export/import CIM files?
Steps:
1) While Citrix and the application are open, there should be a Citrix icon in your
taskbar (the ‘Citrix Connection Center’)
2) Double click the icon
3) Click ‘File Security’
4) Click ‘Full Access’

• Aug 15-30, 2009
– Two weeks no submissions, except for emergency changes
• Aug 31, 2009 - Feb 2010 (NOMCRs for any/all network changes)
– After 8/31/09 TSPs will work to validate the network model and align
to their in-house systems
– Initially the NOMCR timeline will align with zonal timeline
» 30-day lead-time, compliant with current zonal database schedule
» Status is tracked and communicated via system emails
– Any SRs that did not go into zonal production will be converted by
ERCOT to NOMCRs for verification/submission by TSPs in Sept
– In 2010 TSPs gradually transition to NodalProtocols(3.10) 90-day
timeline submission requirements
