Section 16) Miscellaneous Information

 Every night at midnight, an automated process changes the status of listings according to their expiration date. If you are accessing the data around this time, you may wish to wait until 20 or 30 minutes after midnight to access the data.
 Between 2 am and 4 am, the RETS servers undergo a reboot. If your client allows for it, please set it to re-try.
 The SELECT parameter in RETS allows you to select specific fields you may wish to download. See the RETS 1.5 Specification for information on this parameter. If you do not use the SELECT parameter, RETS will return all fields.
 Every listing has a MLS Number and UID in the Property Class. The UID in each Property Class links to the TableUID in the Media class.
 NTREIS MLS uses these statuses:

 NTREIS maintains a set of ‘test’ MLS Listings used for troubleshooting and demonstration purposes. These are not valid listings and do not always contain valid information. Some of the data in these listings can cause your RETS download to fail, or will not easily integrate into various databases. These listings are in ‘AREA = 1001’. Setting the AREA parameter to filter on AREA between 1 and 1000 will avoid NTREIS Test listings.
