Hi Moritz, Thanks for letting us know. It seems latest nightly initialisation of test database didn't populate the in-memory object tree properly which had caused this issue for your update. It should be all fine now. For specific issues with RIPE Database, you can always directly contact RIPE NCC's customer services department (ripe-dbm@ripe.net) which is a ticketized email address. Kind Regards, Kaveh. --- Kaveh Ranjbar, RIPE NCC Database Group Manager On Jan 11, 2013, at 3:56 PM, Moritz Lenz <moritz.lenz@noris.de> wrote:

Hi,

I'm having trouble generating some assignments:

Error while creating object through syncupdates API: - From-Host: 62.128.1.62 - Date/Time: Fri Jan 11 15:36:54 2013

DETAILED EXPLANATION:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following object(s) were found to have ERRORS:

I'm kinda guessing that the 'parent object' that the error message talks about is meant to be the allocation -- but that exists:

$ whois -h whois-test.ripe.net 62.128.31.128 % This is the RIPE Database query service. % The objects are in RPSL format. % % The RIPE Database is subject to Terms and Conditions. % See http://www.ripe.net/db/support/db-terms-conditions.pdf

and has the correct mnt-lowerk afaict.

So, what's the problem here?
