MIB
New updates of the MIB are sent regularly from MOC to SOC via GFTS and automatically distributed to all instrument teams, also via GFTS.
General logic for MIB applicability: Each LTP is usually split into 3 or 4 STP planning blocks, the blocks usually comprise between 3 and 6 STPs. The aim is that within each STP planning block, the same MIB applies for all the STPs. To make this possible, we target MIB updates so that they coincide with the first STP of the block.
Sometimes it is unavoidable that a MIB update takes place in the middle of the block. In this case, we only request a mid-block MIB update for IORGs of instruments directly impacted by the MIB change. This means that instrument teams not affected by the update do not need to wait for the new MIB before sending their IORGs and that they do not need to update IORGs already sent for the rest of that block. However, we do ask all that instrument IORGs use the new MIB at the start of the following block.
As several STPs are open at any time, and sometimes 2 blocks may be open, it is possible to have more than one CURRENT MIB for planning.
CURRENT and UPCOMING MIBs
| STATUS | MIB name | Release notes | Corresponding FOP | Applicability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CURRENT | MIB__20230809M22123PFMS001_SOL | 21223PFM_CSW3.1.2_MAS7.33.pdf | All instruments should use this from STP277 onwards unless a later version is required for that instrument | |
| CURRENT | MIB__20230915M25823PFMS001_SOL | For STP278 RPW new sequence AIWF033Q SWA change fixed parameter into formal parameter RPW and SWA shall use this version from STP278 All other instruments should use this from STP281. |
MIB applicability
Once a planning block is open, you can continue to use the MIB with which the block was opened for the whole block, as long as there are no new MIB updates during that block affecting your instrument. However you must update to the new MIB for the next block.
As such there may be more than 1 applicable MIB per block/STP.
All Previously applicable MIB versions
Note: The MIB distributed on 20220105 had an error in the vdf file and in the name, as it was called version 20220205. MOC has confirmed the error made. As the rest of the MIB content is valid, the file will not be reissued or renamed.
But it may cause trouble for Instrument Teams looking for the most recent MIB through the filenaming.
