Market Data Repository (MDR) - ZONAL to NODAL Conversion

MDR receives Market data from ERCOT on a daily basis. Since ERCOT moved

from Zonal operating structure to Nodal market most of the existing file

formats have changed. This impacts all underlying MDR objects which are to

be re-designed to match the new file formats. Impact analysis was carried

out initially to identify all the Core Modules and list of Database

objects. The data is extracted from the source systems to the Oracle

database using EDI interface which loads the flat file outputs to stage

area. The mappings are invoked from UNIX shell scripts using Control-M

scheduling tool.

Responsibilities:

. Involved in full development cycle of planning Analysis, Design,

Development, Testing & Implementation.

. Did impact analysis of a change in business process, production table,

etc. Identified all the Core modules and database objects which are

impacted.
