Inbox, Outbox, and Archive

Why didn’t I receive my zip file?

Check your Participant Inbox to see if you have reached the maximum allowed number of files sent from MSATS Market Settlement and Transfer Solutions. The procedures published by AEMO under clause 7.2.8 of the National Electricity Rules, which include those governing the recording of financial responsibility for energy flows at a connection point, the transfer of that responsibility between market participants, and the recording of energy flows at a connection point.. If yes, you need to acknowledge them so MSATS can send more.

Each Transaction Group The transaction group field in an aseXML Message, see B2B Procedures: Technical Delivery Specification. or Transaction Priority An element in an aseXML message allowing the sender to indicate their preference in terms of timeliness of processing for the message contents. The three allowable values are “High”, “Medium” and “Low”. As used in terms such as Medium Priority or Low Priority. (for example, cats and nmidh files), cannot receive more than 30 files at a time. Once you receive 30 files, MSATS stops sending more until you or your system acknowledge the files you have.

Sometimes, the number is higher than 30 files because the MSATS Batch Handlers Allows communications between AEMO's systems and participant systems. When communications are processed using the Batch Handlers, they undergo the same validity checks as if they were processed using the web portal. lose contact with the database (for example, if there is a fail-over because the database is unavailable). When this happens, the Batch A right type assigned to a participant user by their participant administrator to access a Batch (file) application Handler starts counting again so you could get an additional 30 files.

Why are files not picked up from my inbox?

Delete any zip files from your Participant Inbox corresponding to ACK An acknowledgement file from AEMO with a filename extension of .ACK. The file contains messages to acknowledge the success of another file. files so MSATS can process new .zip files.

If you allow more than 20 ACK files to accumulate in your Participant Outbox (for example, MSATS has acknowledged 20 files you have not deleted from your Participant Inbox), it stops processing files you submit to your Participant Inbox.

Why are the ACK files in my inbox not processed

Starting from the oldest ACK file in your Participant Inbox, check if they are valid. If you find an invalid one you must remove it so MSATS can continue processing the next one in the queue. Then write a valid ACK file to replace the original invalid one.

MSATS stops processing the ACK files in your Participant Inbox if it detects an ACK file it cannot read (for example, the ACK file is not well-formed). Until the invalid ACK file is cleared MSATS cannot process ACK files.

Why are zip files no longer in my outbox

Once you acknowledge zip files received from MSATS in your Participant Outbox, the files are copied into your Participant Archive. You can drill through the Participant Archive by years, months, and days.

You can use the Dayzip Download menu to zip all files in the Participant Archive and save them to your local computer.

Files are deleted from the Participant Archive after approximately 13 months.

You can access the Participant Archive from the MSATS Web Portal > Data Load Import menu. If you cannot see the menu item, contact your company’s Participant Administrator Creates and maintains access to AEMO systems for their Participant ID users. for access rights.
