ActualEquipment :: EquipmentInstance :: manufactureDate

[openBackhaul]

No default value defined in the ONF CoreIM.
The pattern defined in the TransmitterEquipment Spec. does not allow an empty String.

The manufacture date of the physical components would be of interest, e.g. for identifying instances of a faulty lot.

A default value should be defined for being represented, if the hardware would not provide the required information.

Potential Proposal:
The two entries for the manufactureDate in the two tables in §31 of chapter 9 of the TransmitterEquipment Spec. shall be complemented with the following statement "Only if the device would not provide the required information, "0000-00-00" shall be represented as a default."

Decision during the LF ONMI x-haul call on 24th of April 2024:
The manufactureDate may not be supported as a concept by the vendor or not be available due to unavailability on the device. A default value shall be defined to harmonize the handling of such situations across implementations.

• Even after a possible restructuring of Chapter 9 of the TransmitterEquipment Specification, the attribute shall be described as follows:

  • EquipmentInstance :: manufactureDate : String = "0000-00-00"

• Both entries for the manufactureDate in both tables in §31 of chapter 9 of the TransmitterEquipment Spec. shall be complemented with the following statement 'If the manufacture date would not be available at the device, "0000-00-00" shall be represented as a default value.'
