webRegistry Phase 3 Cutover Date Scheduled for October 15, 2013Minneapolis, MN, Sep 25, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- NAESB, WECC, and OATI have announced the first Phase 3 cutover date from the WECC Registry to the webRegistry for October 15, 2013. Entities with Transmission Path and Adjacency Data registered in the WECC Registry must have all data reviewed and re-registered in OATI webRegistry prior to October 11, 2013 to be included in the active publication on October 15, 2013. On October 15, 2013, the WECC Registry will be officially retired. Data re-registered before October 15, 2013 will be maintained in both the WECC Registry and OATI webRegistry until that date. This is part of the OATI webRegistry (Electric Industry Registry [EIR] implementation) Phase 3 transition. OATI webRegistry Phase 3 will impact entities in the Western Interconnection, as well as those entities conducting business with the Western Interconnection. Application Service Providers who currently utilize the WECC Registry will also be impacted. webRegistry Phase 3 also includes the retirement of the CSV and MDB publication file formats and transition to XML publication file format. This will impact all OATI webRegistry users currently relying on the CSV and MDB files. These activities will take place on October 29, 2013. The NAESB owned EIR business process replaced the NERC TSIN registry business process in November 2012. The registry serves as the central repository for information within the electric industry. OATI webRegistry provides the functionality that implements the EIR business process. OATI is the NAESB chosen system administrator.
