BlindUpdateTool

The Blind Update Tool API is used by participants to submit Blind Update Tool (BUT) csv files, enabling blind updates to CATS Standing Data fields without triggering CATS Notifications. 

The BUT takes the current record and overwrites NMI Standing Data records. The creation and maintenance dates remain unchanged. 

BUT does not:

• Send notifications to participants.

• Create new records. 

Prerequisites

Before using the API, see API Requirements in Markets Portal Help. You must also:

• Understand the MSATS procedures > Provision and maintenance of CATS Standing Data.

• Follow AEMO’s CSV Data Format Standard when creating a csv payload for blind update submissions.

• Test your submission in the pre-production environment interface before submitting to production. AEMO encourages participants to use the pre-production environment to test procedures and train staff.

1. Be a Registered Participant with a Participant ID.
