  10. Non-Functional Testing • Results page 1 of 2 • Planned January 14th 10:00P – 12:00A • Extended 30 minutes to 00:30 so SPP could research RTBM solutions that were produced • Goal of Exercise was to test systems and identify areas that might need additional attention in a failover event. Follow-up analysis and collaboration with vendors are underway to identify, test, and validate solutions. SPP’s planning team will recommend and communicate the next steps including timing and scope to MPs following analysis. • Summary of Expected v. Actual Results • Other than exceptions noted, all systems functioned as expected. • Expected Result: EMS automatically fails over is fully functioning with RTGEN for CBA • Actual Result: EMS failed over after manual intervention; once the failover was completed, EMS functioned as expected • Expected Result: ICCP is fully functioning and sending setpoints • Actual Result: ICCP failed over correctly, functioned as expected • Expect Result: Marketplace Portal User Interface and API available for data entry and retrieval • Actual Result:Marketplace Portal and associated system UIs/APIs failed over correctly. Two external users experienced connectivity issues with the Markets UI. Users were able to reboot and connect. SPP is researching reported errors for additional information to provide to vendors as needed. Casey Cathey

  11. Non-Functional Testing • Results page 1 of 2 • Summary of Expected v. Actual Results • Other than exceptions noted, all systems functioned as expected. • Expect Result: Web Services (RTO_SS) available • Actual Result: Remained available, as expected • Expected Result: Market System is fully functioning and solving RTBM for approx. 1 hr • Actual Result: RTBM missed intervals between 22:20, 22:25 and 22:30 while the failover was occurring. The first study solved at SPP’s backup facility at 22:35. SPP resources were onsite and continued to research the Market Systems during the exercise. Additional studies missed during the exercise were 23:10, 23:30, 23:35, and 23:50. SPP is working with the vendor to research and resolve this issue. • Expected Result: Email is available for sending and receiving communication • Actual Result: Email was unavailable from the backup facility servers and was reverted to SPP’s primary facility while Markets trouble shooting occurred. Microsoft is on-site to assist in identifying solutions. • After the exercise was terminated, all systems and applications restored successfully to Chenal operations. Casey Cathey
