This is primarily to check the market participant\'s access to the Sandbox, i.e. all users and their certificates.</strong> The testing itself will take place on the newly created Sandbox 15min environment (designed for testing data at 15min.granularity), to which the data concerning the access of all users and their access certificates from the existing Sandbox will be automatically transferred after 23/02/2024. No further automatic transfer of data from the "hourly" Sandbox to the "15-minute" Sandbox is planned.</p> <p>We recommend that all users wishing to participate in the testing register for the Sandbox or secure access certificates to the Sandbox <strong>by Friday 23 February 2024</strong>.
