Integration Tests for the new eCAT update 2016/03/10

Dear market participants, Following our communication from the previous week we would like to confirm that provided the final tests performed by JAO and TSOs on Friday and Monday will be successful, we will make the testing environment available for tests with you on 16 March 2016 morning. The eCAT update will deliver the functionalities related to export of the settlement data – with these functionalities you are already familiar from one of our test environments dedicated to the settlement data sharing. The eCAT update to be tested should not change any of the interfaces for bidding, so the tests will be performed mainly to avoid regressions or to enable to market participants to test by them developed tools for automatic communication. The daily and intraday auction process simulation will be performed each day 2 hours later compared to real process timing. Monthly auctions and other specifics tests timing will be communicated on Monday 14/03. Kind regards
