CAISO ADS Client Configuration Example

The following steps show how to configure N3uron to receive ADS requests using the CAISO ADS Client module. Below you can find a template that will make it much easier for users to get started using this module and to speed up the set up process with only minimal adjustments necessary. 

• Step 1: Create a module instance: (Config => Modules => Model => New module)

• Step 8: Create, delete, or adapt the template including theCustom properties, as well as the tags within it, according to your needs.
• Step 9: Review every tag within the template and especially the fields under the Source section in order to verify that the Custom properties are correctly assigned, whether they have been used alone or as part of an expression. 
• Step 10: Create a new instance of the template: Config => Tags => Model=>New Group=>CAISO_BatchData_Type0
• Step 11: Enter the values of the Custom properties for the instance you have just created, as shown in the image below. The following settings should be common to all the tags and have the same values according to what has been configured so far:
  • Source.Enabled: True
  • Source.Module Type: Caiso Ads Client
  • Source.Module name: CaisoAdsClient (the module created in previous steps)
  • Source.Config.Client: ads (the connection created in previous steps)
