SITB Onboarding Steps
Please see the Systems Integration Testing (SIT) B onboarding steps and guidance available for participants to start onboarding into the SITB environment.
We have considered queries we have received so far, and have incorporated these into the guidance.

As a reminder from the previous notes and discussions:
- Release: SITB has been deployed with the Interim Release 5.5, currently in SIT. This is targeted to be uplifted to Interim Release 7.3 in line with the uplift to the SITA environment
- SIT B Portal: this is now available for API Key generation and Webhook Registration
- Data: there is no Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN) data loaded in SITB, hence, messaging will be disabled pending guidance from the SIT team on data load and approach to any smoke testing for Market Participant Organisations (MPOs)
- Certificate functionality is disabled in SITB as all these steps need to be undertaken in SITA
What if I need more help?
The DIP email address is available for participants to raise any queries for the DIP team to resolve. You can contact the team at DIP@mhhsprogramme.co.uk
