MarkeTrak – Conference Call April 30th

Market Participants and ERCOT have utilized MarkeTrak since November of 2006. Enhancements have been identified by the MTF that would benefit all users. Enhancement ideas have been solicited and received by ERCOT since the ‘Pens Down’ portion of the MarkeTrak Phase 2 project. As we continue to see an increase in MarkeTrak issues, more efficiencies to improve the processes are needed.

Add functionality to the MarkeTrak Issue Resolution Tool to:

Improve and standardize MarkeTrak Administration functions

Implement ERCOT validations requested by the MarkeTrak Task Force

Redesign workflows to leverage potential application upgrade from vendor.

Currently there are over 4,000 MarkeTrak Users.

Since December, the Market is seeing the following message more frequently - We're sorry, but the last operation caused an error. The last operation resulted in an error, but the following unrecognized error code was received: No concurrent licenses are available.  See your MarkeTrak Administrator or try again later.

The MarkeTrak Taskforce recommends ERCOT to evaluate the purchase of more licenses.
