Re: [db-wg] This db-help list will be discontinued
by ripedenis＠yahoo.co.uk 18 Sep '15

Hi guys I don't really have any opinion either way as to whether this list is discontinued. But as it is a RIPE list and not a RIPE NCC list I think it should at least be proposed to close it with some justification rather than an announcement of a decision. I can see from the archive that it has not been used very much recently, but maybe that is because it is already shown on the web site as an inactive list. Just for some historical background, this list was intended as a self help forum on database issues. Users of the RIPE Database could ask questions about specific problems or more general issues about usage of the RIPE Database, how other members interact with the database and what tools, if any, they use. Other users could offer advice and the RIPE NCC would only contribute if any questions were left unanswered. So is it considered that there is no need now for a self help forum? Should all questions be directed straight to the RIPE NCC via ripe-dbm or should such questions now go to the DB-WG? If the latter then the description of the DB-WG mailing list should be amended to reflect this. (btw the web site still lists Wilfried as the chair :) ) cheersdenis From: Alex Band <alexb(a)ripe.net> To: db-help(a)ripe.net Sent: Wednesday, 16 September 2015, 13:27 Subject: This db-help list will be discontinued Dear colleagues, We are going to discontinue this mailing list, db-help. If you would like to discuss something related to the RIPE Database, there are several options available: 1. For support or to submit bug report, please contact the RIPE NCC by visiting https://ripe.net/contact or send a message to ripe-dbm(a)ripe.net 2. To start a public discussion about the RIPE Database, for example about suggestions for functionality changes, best practices or operational usage, please subscribe to the RIPE Database Working Group mailing list: https://www.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/db-wg/ This list will be disabled shortly.

Hi Reihane I don't think anyone monitors this db-help list now. I have seen several questions go unanswered on here. But I can answer the question for you. You are trying to create the object 2.179.95.128 - 2.179.95.255 with status 'ASSIGNED PA'. The parent object is 2.179.95.96 - 2.179.96.127 and this also has status 'ASSIGNED PA'. You cannot create a hierarchy of objects all with status 'ASSIGNED PA'. The parent object range is assigned to Islamic-Azad-University-Of-Ashtian. That is part of an allocation range 2.176.0.0 - 2.191.255.255 made to Information Technology Company (ITC). If you have been assigned the sub range 2.179.95.128 - 2.179.95.255 then you need to ask ITC to split the parent object into separate assignments. Otherwise you need to ask ITC to assign you a different range. Either way as ITC controls this block you need to talk to them. cheersdenis From: Javidi <ripe(a)dci.ir> To: db-help(a)ripe.net Sent: Tuesday, 8 September 2015, 12:29 Subject: FW: FAILED: arak1 Why does this object not create? 2.179.95.128 - 2.179.95.255 Error: inetnum parent has incorrect status: ASSIGNED PA But this is not coorect Please advise me Regards Reihane -----Original Message----- From: RIPE Database Administration local [mailto:unread@ripe.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2015 11:58 AM To: ripe(a)dci.ir Subject: FAILED: arak1 > From: Javidi <ripe(a)dci.ir> > Subject: arak1 > Date: Tue, 08 Sep 2015 10:27:40 +0200 > Reply-To: Javidi <ripe(a)dci.ir> > Message-ID: <002001d0ea18$1e780080$5b680180$(a)dci.ir> SUMMARY OF UPDATE: Number of objects found: 2 Number of objects processed successfully: 1 Create: 1 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 No Operation: 0 Number of objects processed with errors: 1 Create: 1 Modify: 0 Delete: 0 DETAILED EXPLANATION: ***Warning: Invalid keyword(s) found: arak1 ***Warning: All keywords were ignored ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The following object(s) were found to have ERRORS: --- Create FAILED: [inetnum] 2.179.95.128 - 2.179.95.255 inetnum: 2.179.95.128 - 2.179.95.255 netname: Telecommunication-of-Markazi descr: Telecommunication Company country: IR admin-c: AUTO-1 tech-c: AUTO-1 status: ASSIGNED PA mnt-by: AS12880-MNT changed: ripe(a)dci.ir 20150908 source: RIPE ***Error: inetnum parent has incorrect status: ASSIGNED PA ***Warning: Deprecated attribute "changed".

Database release 1.81 deployed to RC environment
by Alex Band 08 Sep '15

08 Sep '15

Dear colleagues, We are happy to announce the deployment of RIPE Database software release 1.81 to the Release Candidate (RC) environment. This release extends and fixes some of the functionality changes that were part of the 1.80 release, especially with regards to authenticating and creating objects. This is why we urge you, again, to thoroughly test the RC environment to make sure nothing in your workflow breaks: https://www.ripe.net/data-tools/db/release-notes/rc-release-candidate-envir… Here are the most notable changes I'd like to highlight. When using the RC environment, please focus on using webupdates to test these features: - We added auto-complete for attributes such as maintainers. This means you can start typing a maintainer name and webupdates will suggest existing maintainers, along with their associated authentication. - Webupdates tries to be smarter about deleting objects. When, for example, you want to delete a person object, webupdates will suggest you also delete the associated maintainer, if it is not referenced anywhere else. - "Create a new person and maintainer pair" (previously known as the New Organisation Startup Form) has been redesigned. After logging in with your RIPE NCC Access account, you just need to enter four fields to get going. Because webupdates contains such fundamental user interface changes, gathering your feedback has been cumbersome at times. This is why we added the Usersnap feedback widget to the RC environment, so you can highlight and annotate the page you are providing feedback on. It will make it easier for us to process your comments and implement fixes and changes. From all of us at the Database team, we are looking forward to your comments and we hope you enjoy this release! Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC
