Platts Data Relocation

Notification - January 2004 - LIM customer databases have all recently been upgraded to 4X MIM versions. One of the benefits of the 4X platform is that certain previous restrictions on the location of data in the MIM tree have now been removed.

As part of our ongoing desire to keep your MIM database up-to-date and make the data more accessible to users, we now intend to move all of the Platts data under the "TopRelation:Energy:Products" category into more appropriate locations in the hierarchy where they will be sorted by region.

It is planned to implement this change on Thursday, January 8, 2004. This change will affect approximately 700 symbols starting with the letters A-K (about 1/2 of the "TopRelation:Energy:Products" folder).

Customers will not see any difference in symbols or columns, just the parent change in the hierarchy. The only likely impact would be if an XMIM query referred to the entire relation of the Platts data in TopRelation:Energy:Products or any sub branch of the data. If queries refer directly to symbols, they will not be affected.

We will be moving the rest of the Platts data in the "TopRelation:Energy:Products" category in the first quarter of 2004 and will send out a data notification at that time.
