IT notices: BSC Central Systems’ maintenance for 06-07 October
There will be a scheduled maintenance to BSC Central Systems this weekend (6 to 7 October 2018).
What is happening?
We are carrying out maintenance on BSC Central Systems from 23:00 (BST) 6 October 2018 to 05:00 (BST) 7 October 2018. This could result in temporary issues with connectivity.
What do I need to do?
You do not need to take any specific action and we will perform system checks once the work has completed.
Do I need to take any further action?
No.
How will I be affected?
Elexon anticipates little or no impact on BSC Parties.
However, in some cases users may notice intermittent service, in particular with applications where they have persistent connections with BSC Services, including:
- Balancing Mechanism Reporting Service (BMRS)
- Elexon Portal
- Energy Contract Volume Aggregation Agent (ECVAA) web service
There may also be a delay in receiving, loading and publishing data on the BMRS website as well as via the Application Programming Interfaces (API) and Data Push services.
Users of the TIBCO service may also experience temporary disconnections of service or a delay in the publishing of TIBCO messages via their High Grade Communications Lines.
