Setting Up a Standard DI Environment
For help upgrading an existing DI environment, see Upgrading a DI Environment.
AEMO recommends setting up your first Data Interchange (DI) environment in pre-production. Once you have a successful pre-production installation (used for testing), you can repeat the installation in production to receive live market data. Be careful to always keep the pre-production and production data entirely separate.
A standard DI environment is a single data feed, from one Participant ID folders on the participant file server, to a single participant database. For example, you can have your pre-production environment connected to the participant file server pre-production environment and your production environment connected to the participant file server production environment.
AEMO’s production and pre-production environments are independently operated, so the set of components shown in Figure 8 are duplicated for production and pre-production. To set up a standard Data Interchange environment, follow the steps in Table 3.
Do not point your pre-production environment to the AEMO production environment or vice versa.
All participants are encouraged to use the pre-production environment to test implementation and to train their participant users, before attempting any changes or operations on the production systems.
