  12. Web Services Update EIS Specifications 1.19k • Will be posted early next week • Next NPROD release – Phase 5 Scope (these items previously announced as future changes): • Change- Ancillary Service values • Change from “Float” to “Decimal” values to avoid scientific notation (eg, 1.6E01) • Change - Cancel Outage API with ability to include notes • The existing “cancel OutageSet” API will be extended to allow the market participant to include RequestorNotes, SupportingNotes, and RASPSNotes in the request Payload. These elements will not be required. • The API will still support “cancel OutageSet” without notes. • The Market Manager UI will also support with and without notes. • New - Get Notifications API • This will be a new API available to the market but not required for consumption. It will provide a market participant with the ability to query for Bid, Resource Parameter, and VDI acceptance and rejection notifications. • The API will support such features as querying by MRID, by time range, and by status (acceptance / rejection). The API will be constrained to a minimal amount of historical data availability. • The API / feature set will be available via the machine-to-machine API and Market Manager UI. • Change - Startup / Shutdown Instructions Schema • Today, the hour ending is defined as an integer. This must be changed to string to allow the API to better represent DST (repeating hours using the * convention found elsewhere in the API for DST). http://nodal.ercot.com 12
