Improvements to RIPE Database webforms
by Denis Walker 06 Oct '11

06 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear Colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce some improvements to the database webforms. There is now an expanding menu on the right hand side of each form containing quick links to get to every form. You no longer need to bookmark each form and you can navigate to any other form quickly and easily. The query search results now have buttons for each object shown in the results. These buttons can be seen when you move your mouse over the object. By clicking one of these buttons, that object is opened in a Webupdates Form enabling you to either update or delete the object. Regards Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group

RFC 2317-style Reverse DNS Delegation in the RIPE Database
by Anand Buddhdev 21 Sep '11

21 Sep '11

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, In April 2011, Denis Walker sent a proposal to the DNS and Database Working Groups outlining some reverse DNS-related changes to the RIPE Database. You can see the full proposal here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/db-wg/2011/msg00080.html I'm happy to report that this proposal has been fully implemented. This means that: - Dashes in the third octet of a DOMAIN object are no longer allowed - Dashes in the fourth octet are now allowed A dash in the fourth octet allows for RFC 2317-style reverse DNS delegation for Provider Independent (PI) address allocations which don't fall on octet boundaries. For this second change, we converted all existing delegations into appropriate DOMAIN objects in the RIPE Database. We will update the reverse DNS "how-to" on the RIPE NCC website over the next few days. If you have any questions, please send an email to <dns(a)ripe.net>. Regards, Anand Buddhdev DNS Services, RIPE NCC

RESTful API for create, delete and update
by Christopher Fuselier 20 Sep '11

20 Sep '11

Can someone please provide an update regarding RIPE's RESTful APIs for manipulating the RIPE database? The documentation <https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation> points to <http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois> http://lab.db.ripe.net/whois as the URL for communicating with the RIPE and TEST databases. In my testing, transactions time out with that web service endpoint. Using a slightly different URL (http://apps.db.ripe.net/whois), queries succeed but updates do not. Could it be that the web service URL has changed? Or is the e-mail template approach still preferred? Thank you in advance... Cheers, Christopher Fuselier

Re: [db-wg] New free text search for RIPE Database

In the new system, you state that you don't index role or person objects but you also don't index the strings tech-c or admin-c inside inetnum objects for example.

Imagine someone retires and you want to change all his/her objects that list them - it used to be able to be done with the old free text search. The new one doesn't allow it.
