EuroRunner 13.14.16

New features

Show matching for physical storage and physical buy contracts

Mismatches for physical storage and physical buy contracts are now shown in the matching overview and in Find Notices in the same way as for transit notices.

Support sending DVGW request response notices

The Response v4/5 template for swing buy and sell contracts now allows a message type to be selected - Edigas or DVGW. This defaults to Edigas if not selected.

Support confirmations for points from any recipient

Confirmations for points containing multiple flanges are now supported from any recipient. This includes confirmations from Gascade for the merged Speicherzone Nord location.

Fixes and improvements

  • Position adjustments now appear in the nominated and confirmed columns in Network Position and Overview screens.
  • Improved performance of fetching imbalances (e.g. for Overview screen).
  • Validity status of Gemini credentials is now properly updated when new credentials are entered.
  • Fixed an error requiring the Steering screen to be restarted after a new contract was added.

  • Removed unused ‘capacity condition’ functionality.
  • Improved database maintenance job, and changed the way this runs so it can be updated more easily in future.

EuroRunner 13.13.21

New features

Added support for importing capacity totals from Gemini

Capacity totals can now be imported from Gemini for entry and exit capacities for both IP and non-IP locations. If EuroRunner is configured to import these, they will be used instead of capacity totals calculated from capacity trades, in all screens that shown capacity information.

Added support to update transit nominated/confirmed values based on contract notices

For storages where only a nomination to the storage operator (SSO) is sent, but no separate nomination to a TSO, the transit/TSO side can now be updated to match the contract/SSO value. This allows them to be used in nominated and confirmed balances.

Edigas v6 confirmations for storage contracts can now be imported.

Fixes and improvements

  • Fixed issue with Enagas exchange matching whereby confirmation values were appearing on a different row.

  • Alerts will now be sent to admin email addresses for GTS, GTMS and Enagas certificates that are due to expire.

  • Adding counterparties from contract properties is now quicker - you can add a counterparty and trader in one go.
