HSP Project Overview • Project Objectives
– Implementation for the ROI Retail Market of the agreed Harmonised Baseline (HBL) and a new operational technical messaging platform, shared with and operational in the NI Retail Market
• Scope – HBL implementation for ROI Market with consequent design and
operational impacts – MPCC replacement by new EMMA on-ramp service – Technical Service Packs upgrade of ESBN Central Market Systems
(no impact on MPs)– CR357 – increased validation on 030 Market Message – Inclusion of Load Profile on Supplier Extranet
• Key Exclusions – Merging of the ROI and NI Retail markets (MPs still need to licence and
qualify separately) – Changes to the ROI Market Business Processes (with exception of the
new 131 Meter Works Message)

Market Design Change and ROI Impacts of HSP Project
1. Harmonised BaseLine (HBL) and ROI-specific documentation – scope and nature of impact
2. Design Clarifications – interpretation by HSP team of some key design points arising from HBL
3. ROI Extended Impact Summary – message-by-message, field-by-field impact assessment summary sheet
Assessing the impacts of the HSP Project should be approached top-down by reviewing, in stages, the Harmonised Baseline, Design Clarifications and the ROI Extended Impact Summary

HBL Background
• In September 2009, the CER and NIAUR initiated the Retail Market Harmonisation Project
• Objective was to encourage competition in supply markets and to improvine the quality of service to all customers
• The Harmonisation Working Group (HWG), operating under oversight from a Harmonisation Steering Group (HSG), has produced the definition of and industry agreement to a common set of Harmonised market messages, data codes and definitions, which has culminated in a single retail market design
• This common set of definitions is called the Harmonised Baseline or HBL.
The HBL is a product of the Harmonisation Programme, jointly sponsored by the CER and NIAUR
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 9
HBL Structure and EnforcementThe HBL sets out the rules for constructing all Market Messages and is technically underpinned and enforced by the Harmonised Schema (available from today for ROI-only MPs)

serves both ROI and NI; human and machine readable for programmatic validation of Messages)
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 10
HBL Impact – Message Design
• Market Messages / Data Definitions / Codes – Modelled largely on existing ROI elements– Key changes include:
• 1 new message (131 Work Status) • Extended options for Customer Service Special Needs• Central Market Systems validation for non-ROI codes (new
DIJ rejection code) • Numerous field length changes • Several changes in message name• Several changes in field optionality (required <=> optional)• A small number of new codes are introduced for ROI • All Boolean Flags on outbound messages now equal 0/1
The introduction of the HBL impacts on both the ROI Message design components and the existing ROI Schema
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 11
HBL Impact - Schema
• Harmonised Schema – Modelled largely on existing ROI schema (v9.0)– Key changes include:
• 2 new messages (131 and 140 (NI only))• Numerous new fields on several messages (NI only) • Numerous extensions of existing code sets (but for NI
only usage)• Several message names changed to align with
harmonised Interval / Non-interval naming convention
The introduction of the HBL impacts on both the ROI Message design and the existing ROI Schema

ROI Extended Impact Summary
• Extended ROI Impact Summary – New impact planning aid for ROI MPs, not part of HBL– Based on approved HBL V2.3 ROI Impact Column Update– Simplified by removing all “No Impact” items – Extended by including:
• All current design clarifications (up to IGG on 23rd May 2012)• CR357 – Increased validation on 030 Market Message• Implementation Notes from the Project• References to helpful additional information sources
• Content Overview – All impacts on ROI messages and data items are categorised by the
nature of change (new message, new codes for ROI, field length change, etc.)
– Separate tabs provide views of the impacts by category, – message or data item and user-defined view
Use the ROI Extended Impact Summary to review detailed impacts (or to cross-check any impacting work already done). Extent of usage will vary by nature of Supply business and degree of your systems integration.

HBL and HSP Change Management
• HBL changes before HSP go-live (ROI & NI impact)
– HWG of 22 Feb, 2012 agreed that no further HBLs would be published until after HSP go-live
– Any mandatory changes will be documented, brought to the HWG for approval and published as riders to the current HBL and published by HRDS
• Pending changes to HBL / Schema (ROI & NI impact) – DR1114 has been opened to gather pending changes– DR will not be brought to market until after HSP go-live
• Further HSP Project changes (ROI impact only) – Any changes impacting MPs will continue to be communicated
through the IGG and published by RMDS
While the likelihood of further design change is low and diminishing, keep abreast of any further changes to ensure your impact assessment remains current
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 19
Summary and MP Q&A
• Summary – The HSP Project introduces substantial change but
the impact of change will vary – Suppliers need to individually assess the impacts on
their own business processes and plan appropriately – there is no “do nothing” option
– Start the planning early to ensure that you can keep pace with the Market-wide change programme

TIBCO EMMA
• ESB HSP will provide Market Participants with TIBCO partner software (EMMA) to replace the current MPCC. This software will support the following 2 forms of communication with the Central Messaging Hub:– MPs automatically uploading and downloading
messages to/from the Central Hub– MPs manually keying transactions (messages) via
WebForms
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 25
EMMA ComponentsThe EMMA is based on standard TIBCO software components. The
components in use are as follows
• General Interface (GI) 3.9.1: This is the TIBCO component that is used to create the Webforms.
• Business Works (BW) 5.9.2: This is the TIBCO component that is used to: a) validate outbound messages against schema and, if valid, forward the
message to Business Connectb) receive inbound messages and deliver to destination folder on EMMA.
• BusinessConnect (BC) 5.3.3: This is the TIBCO component that is used to:a) Wrap the outbound message in an AS2 envelope and send over HTTPS to
the receiver’s EMMAb) Unwrap the AS2 envelope from the inbound message and forward to
Business Works.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 26
EMMA Components• TIBCO BusinessConnect DMZ Dedicated DMZ Servlet – specifically designed to sit in your DMZ as an
entry point for inbound messages. Leaves the other main TIBCO components on the secure network
• BusinessConnect console in TIBCO Administrator This can be used for a number of tasks including:
– Viewing audit/data logs from BusinessConnect when sending messages.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 27
EMMA Configuration Options
• There are three main deployment options namely single-server, distributed or dual-clustered.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 28
Preferred TIBCO Network Setup
Note: If there is an existing proxy server, it is also possible to setup the architecture so that outbound messages can also be sent through it, rather than directly from the TIBCO Interior server through the DMZ.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 29
Preferred TIBCO Network Setup
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 30
Preferred TIBCO Network Distributed Setup
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 31
Single Server
• Best practice is to use the TIBCO DMZ Component but it is possible to have a single TIBCO Interior server in the DMZ with no TIBCO DMZ component.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 32
EMMA Minimum Spec
DMZ Server Spec: – Virtual & Physical environments supported– Processor - Single CPU (Quad Core)– RAM - 2GB– Disk - 30GB:
• C:\ - 5 – 10GB (OS)• D:\ - 5 – 10GB (TIBCO software)
– Operating System - Windows 2008
• Note: On a DMZ server a large amount of space isn’t required as this
server is only used for routing messages.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 33
EMMA Minimum SpecTIBCO Interior Server:• Virtual & Physical environments supported• All 3 Main Configurations require:
– Database - Oracle – TIBCO Server Spec - 4 GB RAM– Operating System - Windows 2008 Server (IIS)– Browser - IE 8.0 for PC’s using webforms– Network
– Static IP Address– Permanent Network Connection (min. 1MB bandwidth)– Firewall restrictions, TIBCO uses port 443, Webforms
ports 80, 8087– Protocol – HTTPS, Uses digital certs.
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 34
EMMA Minimum Spec

Who are Gemserv?
• Appointed as a service provider to conduct independent market assurance reviews
• Have been involved in RoI electricity since market opening
• Assurance approach and techniques have evolved with market design changes and incorporating market feedback/lessons learned
• Satellite office located in Fitzwilliam Hall, Dublin
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 51
Assurance Approach• Self-Assessment
– Initial short questionnaire to verify that changes are known about and project has been initiated
– Later, more detailed questionnaire to verify that changes have been analysed, impacts assessed and actions initiated accordingly
• Formal Assessment (Central Systems only)
– Site visit to verify that project is on track and activities (particularly specification, testing, reviews and authorisations) are being carried out effectively
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 52
Assurance Approach• Message Exchange Testing
– Sample of each market message exchanged EMMA-Hub-Central and vice-versa to verify all message paths correctly configured and active
– Will be carried out immediately following commissioning of EMMA by EMMA installation team
– Evidence will be taken and sent to HRDS for collation and forwarded to Gemserv
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 53
Assurance Approach• Inter-Participant Testing (IPT)
– Tests carried out using the full market infrastructure (EMMA, network, Hub, Central Systems) and Participant systems (incl. Webforms)
– Tests are defined as storyboards that set out:• Initial conditions• Actions and events• Final conditions
– Requires pre-requisite data to be set-up (may be just identification of MPRN in appropriate state)
– Evidence to be taken at each step and sent to HRDS for collation and forwarding to Gemserv
– Gemserv reviews and assesses outcome
17 April, 2012 (Updated 29/5/2012) HSP MP Workshop Page 54
Assurance Approach• IPTs
– Large Suppliers• 29 test conditions to be tested
• With variations and overlap this results in 33 scenarios
• Some scenarios are sector-specific (e.g. Unmetered)
• Grouping expected to reduce per large supplier scenario count to about 15
– Small Suppliers• Aim is to verify that Webforms working in line with requirements
• 11 scenarios aiming to exercise most common messages
• Some scenarios will involve 2 suppliers (gaining and losing)
• Grouping expected to reduce per small supplier scenario count to about 6

MP Next Steps
• Business and Systems Impact Assessment – Scope and plan project to implement required changes in time for agreed
IPT slot • EMMA Implementation
– Review technical spec and configuration options– Deploy server(s) and base software– Provide HSP with details of:
• chosen EMMA server configuration • choice of Oracle DB (XE or EE) • registered external IP address (for HSP test EMMA)• (ES MPs only) which EMMA will remain on as test server post-HSP golive
• Stay Informed – Attend IGG meetings / review minutes / watch for further HSP updates
from [email protected] and on the RMDS Calendar – Expect to be contacted shortly to confirm details above and to agree IPT
slot and test case workload
MPs should ensure that the full business and systems impacts are understood and appropriate project resources deployed in line with the HSP project schedule
