  1. UK Link Future Release 3: Track 1 Implementation Approachfor Approval at ChMC 2nd October 2018

  2. Executive Summary • Release 3 Track 1 is on track to complete Market Trials as per schedule w/c 08th of October • The next phase for Track is completion of Regression Testing, Implementation Dress Rehearsals and Implementation as per the Notional Go Live Date of 2nd of November 2018 • DSG members were briefed on 17th September regarding the proposed implementation plan and feedback was requested. • The Purpose of this slide deck is to • To go through the Implementation Plan proposal and • To seek ChMC approval for R3 Implementation plan at the Extraordinary ChMC to ensure all parties are prepared adequately for Track 1 Go Live

  3. Implementation Approach • 13 (+1*) Track 1 Changes will commence implementation on 2nd November 2018 and are planned to finish implementation activities on 3rd November 2018 • Implementation activities involve: • Processing of all inbound files in the old file formats on 2nd November (with a cut-off applied) • Xoserve Code Movement post step (1) in early hours of 3rd November • Post implementation catch-up processing of files (including those where new file formats are introduced) • The FR3.0 implementation activities involves code transports in SAP ISU, Marketflow and BODS and involves c.60 File Formats for the 13 (+1*) changes • Due to the number of file formats involved in Release 3, the implementation window is expected to be complex and therefore the alignment to electricity dates is not deemed possible for this release. • Go Live on a Friday (as per electricity release) is also likely to cause operational impacts should the post implementation contingency need to be used as Friday the 2nd of November is a working day. (see next slide for implementation plan) • Therefore it is recommended that the implementation date remains as the notional Release 3 Go Live date published thus far and code transports can be performed on the weekend, i.e. 3rd Nov 2018, thereby reducing operational impacts and ensuring smoother transition of file format changes • A file level Transition plan has been published by 21st September for the circa 60 file format changes for Track 1 *XRN 4658 is also being implemented as part of Track 1 implementation window as agreed with ChMC on 23rd July 2018

  4. Implementation Approach The final inbound files in the old file format confirmed as part of the File Level Transition Plan
