e-LSI Market Participant System Profile
MDM Independent
The System Profile form offers the Market Participants an opportunity to provide input into the analysis phase of the e-LSI project. It also gives all the Market
Participants the same level of understanding of the system requirements. This form is a major source of information that will provide input into making decisions relating to how e-LSI impacts each of the Market Participants. The data required relates to the current transfer of Load Settlement transactions and operations around Dropchute.
The information required for this profile is from a system perspective. If a Market
Participant processes Load Settlement data on behalf of other Market
Participants the information provided should relate to the system providing the service (i.e. Billing Agent).

Capacity and Network Traffic Planning
The following information will be used as a guide to determine when the data transfer load is at its greatest as well as the data integrity of the transactions.
Frequency :
Time of Day – Business vs.
Non-Business Hours:
Indicate if the transactions are sent Daily,
Weekly, Monthly, or as required.
Indicate if the transactions are sent during business hours (8:00am – 5:00pm) or nonbusiness hours (5:00pm to 8:00am)
Transaction Analysis: Average # of Transactions - Indicate the average # of transactions sent at any one time.
# of Errors Returned:
.
File Size - Indicate the average file size of transactions sent at any one time.
Peak Volume : - Indicate the largest # and file size of transactions sent.
Indicate the approximate number of Level 1 and
Level 2 errors returned from a transaction set.
Level 1 - Validations are based on the structure of the transaction itself, and require no crosschecking with other databases. The rules for each transaction, which specify requirements such as correct file length, data type and length, and mandatory fields, will be the basis for this level of validation.
Level 2 - Validations are based on the content of the transaction, and will require crosschecking to information stored in the database. These validations will be transaction specific. e-LSI Market Participant System Profile 4/18/2020 Page: 4 of 6
