Today's focus: Network management goes open source
---------------------------------------------
By Phil Hochmuth

A beta version of Open Network Management Software's Bluebird
management tool last week was released to the open source
community for testing in network environments.

Bluebird's creators intend the software to be an open-source
alternative to large network management platforms, such as
Tivoli, HP's OpenView and Aprisma's Spectrum. Bluebird uses
standards-based technologies - including Java in the core
application engine and XML in the reporting and interface
modules - which make applications less bulky and more
customizable than proprietary network management platforms,
OpenNMS developers claim.  Also, as with all open-source
programs, the source code is freely available, allowing users
to modify and customize the software even further.

Bluebird runs with PostgreSQL 7.0, a freely available SQL
database popular with open-source software users. Bluebird is
also compatible with the Oracle8i database.

Bluebird 0.4 is based on SNMP, and is designed to manage small
networks of up to 500 networked devices. The software requires
no "agents," or monitoring software, to run on the devices it
monitors. This could help to make the deployment and
maintenance of the system easier than agent-based management
products.

The Bluebird software performs an array of management tasks,
such as discovering TCP/IP devices in a network, device
filtering, and service-level monitoring for enforcing service-
level agreements from a service provider. Reporting tools allow
users to make charts and reports about their network's
performance over a period of time. The software includes a
Java2 real-time reporting console that gives users a live view
of events and traffic patterns in a network.

A calendar function is included, which can be used to schedule
network tasks, such as system backups and automated software
upgrades.

OpenNMS software is based on Java2, so it can run on an array
of platforms, including Linux, Windows NT/2000 and Sun Solaris.

OpenNMS expects Version 1.0 of Bluebird to be released in the
first quarter of 2001. The production version of the software
will have a distributed architecture, where multiple Bluebird
servers are deployed and tasks are divvied up among distributed
machines. Version 1.0 will also support networks with thousands
of TCP/IP nodes.

Kim,
 We currently have a Master with Eastern New Mexico Natural Gas Association,

Dan,

Thanks for looking at this for me.  I did remove the phrase you mention in
number 1 below.  As for a volume cap, I don't think that one is necessary in
this case.  Their TW contract limits them to 1000 MMBtu/day.  Any prices that
are fixed will not include TW transport charges.

Thanks again,

Kim

ps, once their board approves this term sheet, we will need to do a
confirmation.  Will this be generated by you or when the deal is entered into
the system?

Subject: Re: Eastern New Mexico Gas Company

Kim,
 I have reviewed your term sheet and have the following questions.
1.  Under Term, you have included the phrase "with annual redetermination"
however I find no redetermination language in the Price  section.  I would
suggest that the phrase be deleted.
2.  Under Quantity, you indicate there expected volumes, however, we need to
put some cap on the maximum, With a 5 year term, we should offer some maximum
such as 200% of the expected volumes.  Any thoughts relating to a cap?
3.  Under Price you indicate that the price could be changed to a Fixed
Price, I assume that you do not intend to include the Transwestern
transportation charges as a part of the Fixed Price.  Is this correct?  and
if so, does the Fixed Price language need to be qualified?
 Otherwise, the term sheet appears okay.

Attached is a term sheet that has been sent to Eastern New Mexico gas company
to extend a four year deal that ends on April 30, 2001.  Could you look into
the confirmation for this transaction?  They will be going to the board for
approval at the end of next week so you have some time.  Sorry to bombard
you!!  This one should be easy.

Thanks,

Here it is!


Your review and approval of the following product types in the EOL Datamanager is needed (for directions on approval, please see steps for approval at the bottom of this e-mail). If you have any questions please call me at ext. 39555.
******** DO NOT APPROVE PRODUCT TYPES BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 6AM - 11AM***********

Product Type(s): US East Power Phy Firm Spread (LD)    (2166)

Trader(s): Jeff King
Description(s):	US Pwr PhyLD Spd 	ERCOT N2001 vs ERCOT               USD/MWh

A US Power Spread Transaction (as defined below) with Enron Power Marketing, Inc. under which the Seller (the "Spread Seller") and the Buyer (the "Spread Buyer") shall enter into two physical power transactions, under which either (A) for the case in which Counterparty submits an offer to buy from Enron, Counterparty shall buy the First Product and sell the Second Product, each in respect of the quantity of Firm (LD) energy equal to the Hourly Quantity at the Contract Price in accordance with the terms of the "Firm (LD)" definition in Schedule P of the Edison Electric Institute Master Power Purchase and Sale Agreement Version 2.1 (modified 4/25/00), including, without limitation, any defined terms contained therein, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the master agreement, if any, that governs these Transactions ("Firm (LD) Energy"); or (B) for the case in which Counterparty submits an offer to sell to Enron, Counterparty shall sell the First Product and buy the Second Product, each in respect of the quantity of Firm (LD) energy equal to the Hourly Quantity at the Contract Price.
The transaction is for the applicable hours as set forth herein on each Delivery Day for the Effective Date 01 Oct 2001 to the Termination Date 31 Oct 2001.
The Contract Price for the Second Transaction in this short description will be the midpoint of the bid and offer price(s) on the Website for the second product listed in the short description at the time of the Transaction if both the bid and offer prices are then available or the available price if only one of such prices is then available. The Contract Price for the First Transaction will be the Contract Price used for the Second Transaction, modified by the price submitted by the Counterparty on the Website.
The Spread Transaction shall mean the ERCOT Transaction together with the ERCOT N 2001Transaction.  The Spread Seller and the Spread Buyer agree that the ERCOT Transaction and the ERCOT N 2001 Transaction shall be treated as separate transactions under any applicable agreement(s) governing such transactions.  Accordingly, for example, if a party fails to perform under the ERCOT Transaction, the other party is not excused from performance under the ERCOT N 2001 Transaction based on such non-performance.  However, unless otherwise expressly defined, the term "transaction" as used on the Website shall mean each of the ERCOT Transaction and the ERCOT N 2001 Transaction.  The ERCOT Transaction is for delivery or receipt of energy to any points within the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. ("ERCOT") at Seller's daily election. If and when possible for Seller to designate under pertinent ERCOT scheduling practices, any such points shall be connected to the ERCOT Transmission Grid by Transmission Facilities (as such terms are defined in the ERCOT Protocols) operated at or above 138kV.  The ERCOT N 2001 transaction is for delivery or receipt of energy to any points within the North 2001 Zone as finalized pursuant to the action on April 17, 2001 by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Inc. ("ERCOT") Board of Directors, at Seller's daily election. If such North 2001 Zone is superceded by a zone or zones of different boundaries, Seller shall nevertheless be required, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, to deliver the energy to points within the geographical area coextensive with the originally defined North 2001 Zone.  If and when possible for Seller to designate under pertinent ERCOT scheduling practices, any such points shall be connected to the ERCOT Transmission Grid by Transmission Facilities (as such terms are defined in the ERCOT Protocols) operated at or above 138kV.
The price is quoted in US Dollars per unit of volume, which will be the Contractual Currency.
The unit of measure against which the price is quoted shall be megawatt-hours (MWh) and the quantity shown shall be in MW's delivered in each applicable hour for the duration of the Transaction (the "Hourly Quantity').

In order to provide the ability to track transport expense by Desk, Sitara
was modified to allow multiple Transport Capacity tickets for the same
Service Contract provided that they are for different desks and only one is
tagged as "Primary".  Here is the procedure for setting up new Capacity
tickets to reflect the "other" desks:

a.  You will probably first notice this via a warning/error message in Path
Manager when building a new path.  The message will read something like
"Source/Destination 123456 for desk IMCT does not match Service contract 3434
and will be removed."
b.  Make note of the deal number in the Service List of the Service contract
that you were using in the new path.
c.  Open that Transport Capacity deal in Sitara.  Then hit Copy.
d.  On the new deal:
 Change the Buyer from the old desk to the new desk that matches the Supply
or Market deal that you are pathing with.  If it a contract for which we are
  agent, then don't change the Buyer but instead change the Agent to the new
desk.  The "primary" deal will carry the actual Agent.
 Changing the Buyer causes the Contract field to get blanked out.  Re-select
the contract.
 Just above the various exchange line items is a Primary Deal check box.
Un-check it.
 On each exchange line item, change the MDQ to zero and for any Negotiated
rates, uncheck them as well.  The "primary" deal will carry the MDQ and
  any negotiated Demand, Commodity or fuel.
 Hit Release.
e.  You may need to re-retrieve Path Manager.  You should see the Deal number
in the Service list now read "Multiple".  Right-click/Service Deals will list
the  specific deals.
f.  Re-build the path as you originally desired.  The warning/error message
should not appear again.

This could occur for any combination of Desk and Service Contract.
Please file this in your "Call Dave If I Can't Find This" folder.

Thanks, d.n.

Dear fellow signatories to the Comprehensive Settlement:

On Friday of last week, SoCalGas and PG&E informed ALJ Biren that Altra had
definitively declined to offer the electronic trading services that both the
already-approved PG&E settlement and the pending SoCalGas/SDG&E Comprehensive
Settlement contemplated would be provided specifically by Altra for at least
an intial period.? Both SoCalGas and PG&E sent a letter and email to to the
full service list yesterday (Tues, 9/5) informing parties of this development.

SoCalGas believes that some modification to the Comprehensive Settlement in
necessary to take this development into account, and that we then need to
file the modification as soon as possible with the Commission.? The ALJ has
indicated to us that some formal filing with the Commission in response to
this development will be necessary.

We want to work with the signatories to the Comprehensive Settlement to reach
a consensus as soon as possible.? Our goal is to cause little or no delay in
the processing of a decision on the Comprehensive Settlement.

What SoCalGas has in mind is modifying the settlement to remove the specific
naming of Altra and to insert language saying that SoCalGas will select and
contract with a third-party provider for a specified period of time, without
identifying in the settlement who that will be.?? We also need to consider
whether we should address in the revision to the settlement how we will
handle the possibility that the third-party provider will not be ready to
operate by the April 1, 2001 date the settlement provides for the monthly
imbalance trading, OFO day imbalance chip trading, and storage rights
trading.? SoCalGas is looking at interim arrangements that it could provide
in-house starting April 1, 2001, until the third-party provider could begin
service.? We also might consider what would happen if no third party provider
can be found.

To avoid any claims that we have not complied with the settlement rules,
today we mailed and emailed to the full service list a notice of a settlement
conference for Wednesday of next week.? We want to file something with the
Commission very promptly thereafter.

Please feel free to contact Glen Sullivan at 619-699-5027, Lad Lorenz at
213-244-3820, Bob Betonte at 213-244-3832, or June Suwara at 213-244-3504 on
this subject.?

For those of you who have not heard, Brian Cherry has submitted his
resignation from Sempra Energy's Regulatory Affairs Dept. and will be going
to work shortly for PG&E in a similar capacity.

Regards,

Today was a very difficult day for us as market uncertainty continued.  Recent news reports, including The Wall Street Journal article today, have speculated about possible mergers, takeovers and equity investors as options that Enron is considering.  The reason you have not seen us responding to these reports is that it is our corporate policy not to comment on market speculation.  However, I will tell you that we are evaluating all options to protect the financial stability of this company.  I will keep you updated on developments as they occur.


Please remember that once a master has been executed the status SHOULD NEVER be changed from its "executed" status.  To accomodate the master upgrades and master netting agreements I have added additional selections to the status bar, so you now have the following selections to choose within the "executed" status bar:

1.  "executed"
2.  "executed-under amendment" - to be used when we are amending a master
3.  "executed-inactive" - to be used when a master is executed but we are no longer trading under it
4.  "executed-master upgrade" - to be used when we are doing an ISDA replacement master or replacing one master with another master
5.  "executed-master netting agreement" - to be used when we have a master in place and we are upgrading it to add a master netting agreement

Thanks for your attention herewith.

OH, that's too bad!!!  Are you feeling better now?  I guess the drugs are wearing off!  I was really looking forward to dinner tonight, too.  I had a bad night last night.  But, you may want to avoid sushi altogether until you've been remedicated.  I hope you have a better trip back!

With the filing of the Hart-Scott-Rodino application last week, it looks like our updated launch timeline is as follows. Note that it is still possible that this timeline could shift:

Week of Jan 28:

We will distribute a packet to each of the Originators/Traders who have volounteered to call customers and assist in getting signed Password Applications. The packets will contain:

Key Messages
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Top Counterparty Checklist
External Customer Cover Letter
Password Application (PA)
Registration Form
Fax Cover Sheet for PA/Registration
Electronic Trading Agreement (ETA)
Internal online Marketing Contact List

Each person receiving a pack will contact the Master Users at the companies they have volounteered for and send them copies of the Password Application (PA) and Electronic Trading Agreement (ETA). During this week, we will be working hard to get as many of the PA's returned as possible. Once we have a signed PA, we can send the customer their new User ID, which will allow them to start trading on the day we launch the new site.

A Splash page will be available at www.UBSWenergy.com or via an automatic redirect from www.enrononline.com. This page will tell customers about the pending launch of www.UBSWenergy.com and provide links to the PA and Registration screens and also to the User Admin screens, which will allow customer Master Users to start setting up their Sub Users.

The Splash page will look something like the following:

Week of Feb. 4:

We will send out a mass mailing to approx. 3,000 individuals at 450 companies inviting them to sign up for the site. Included in the package will be a simple brochure, copies of the PA and ETA, key messages and a list of Frequently Asked Questions.

Week of Feb. 11:

The site will launch, with at least financial products (timing for gas physical and power physical to be determined according to regulatory issues).

General Terms and Conditions (GTC's) will be available online and must be accepted online before a company can start to trade a particular commodity.

Trading/Origination Coordination

The Top 50 customers will have at least an initial contact within the first two days of starting the marketing effort and that all customers who previously traded either gas or power will receive a mailing within the first 10 days. An online marketer has been assigned as coordinator for each company and will assist each Trader/Originator in following up with Master Users as necessary to make sure PA's are signed and returned.

UBSWenergy Marketing Contacts:

For Marketing-specific questions, please use the following contacts. For other questions, please contact Bob Shults (30397) or Dave Forster (31861).

Teresa Mandola (39807) - Power
Jennifer McQuade (53614) - Power

Subject:	pg&e term sheet

i talked to david fleisig at pg&e last night. he begged for simple term sheet that could be flushed out in definitive documentation.
would you add the following for people to comment on in the term sheet:
we will oppose the assessment of an underscheduling penalty at the ferc.
they will oppose the assessment of any surcharge to da customers by the cpuc for any of their undercollections.
we will both cooperate to either get ferc alj approval of the settlement or if we waive this requirement in our discretion (e.g. if some holdup there/we want to close fast), they will immediately pay to us any refund that we end up paying that goes to them.


I think we were under the impression that this was a name change.

Subject: Calpine Power Services/Calpine Energy Services

This Counterparty is on the 11/9/00 EOL List.  We have received documentation
that reflects that Calpine Power Services Company, an entity where we have an
ISDA Master in place, has merged with and into Calpine Energy Services, L.P.,
an entity where we don't have an ISDA in place with.   Is Credit OK with this
merger?


Trevor,

It was great hearing from you.   Please send me some info via email to look
at and circulate.

Thanks,
mike
