no 59/09 Connectivity problems to CLICK trade and Secure PI is now resolved


Lysaker, 11 June 2009 

CLICK trade

A number of exchange members experienced VPN connectivity problems from around 14.05 CET and onwards today, resulting in loosing access to CLICK trade. This was solely a VPN problem, and did not affect members connecting trough fixed lines. The problem is now resolved.

Secur PI

The above mentioned difficulties also affected Secur PI, which resulted in breach of connectivity for the OTC customers. 

Contracts executed while Secure PI was unavailable must be entered into the system by the customers when Secur PI again is now available. However, contracts already received by Nord Pool Clearing will be handled by Nord Pool Clearing. Please review today's trade list carefully. 

Due to the above mentioned incident, the deadline for registration of OTC contracts executed 11 June 09, and could not be registered due to the incident, is postponed until 10.00 CET 12 June 09. Please note that these contracts will have clearing date 12 June 09.
