ICT Infrastructure planned maintenance on Wednesday 12 February 2020 AND on Wednesday 18 March 2020 - Operational Information

10.02.2020

Dear customers, network users,

 

In order to maintain an appropriate level of services to our clients, we will  perform some maintenance activities on our ICT infrastructure on Wednesday 12 February 2020 from 10:00 to 14:00h AND on Wednesday 18 March 2020 from 03:15 to 08:00h.

 

 Please bear in mind that:

  • Nomination, Provisional Hourly Allocation Form (BALL) and Gas In Storage (GIS) messages will be impacted.
  • The Electronic Data Platform (EDP) will be unavailable during this timeframe.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Please also read these important notices :  

 

  • TLS 1.2 (Transport Layer Security):   As from 19 February 2020 , Fluxys Belgium will only allow communication through the TLS1.2 protocol that provides privacy and data integrity. Communication with older versions of the TLS protocol (TLS1.1, TLS1.0, SSL) will no longer be supported. All the exchanged data and messages will be impacted. More detailed information can be found here . (Link naar : https://easee-gas.eu/news/easee-gas-publishes-cbp-2017-002-01-on-secure-communication-over-the-internet )
  • Domestic Exit Point à Domestic Point :  As from 18 March 2020 the designation of ‘Domestic Exit Point’ will be changed to ‘Domestic Point’, as Fluxys Belgium also offers the possibility not only to consume gas (exit) but also to inject green gas into its grid (entry). In case you use this designation as a reference when retrieving data, this call should also be adapted accordingly.
  • VIP BENE :  As from 1 April 2020,  Fluxys Belgium and GTS will introduce a Virtual Interconnection Point (VIP), named VIP-BENE, between ZTP-H and TTF. This VIP will combine the interconnection points Zelzate 1, Zandvliet H and ‘s Gravenvoeren. From 1 April 2020 onwards, all market activities, such as capacity booking, nominations, allocations or invoicing, will be operated on the VIP. More detailed information can be found here .  

 

  • New layout of the Allocation Details : Since there have recently been some main evolutions (suspension of the scheduling fees, the creation of production units,... ), we have developed new allocation details to reflect better the current situation. Allocation details relating to delivery months from April onwards will be drawn up in the new format. Allocation Details relating to delivery months March and before will remain in the old format, even if they are generated after 1 April. This change will have an impact on both the manual and the automatic download.  More information can be found here.

Please take care to realize the necessary modifications timely in your systems.

 

We thank you for your comprehension and collaboration.
