Re: [ncc-services-wg] Fwd: Fwd: Re: New mailing list hardware and software at the RIPE NCC

>> Could this be done on the server level, using HTTP redirection? > Judging from the lack of response and the present brokenness of a myriad of > links, apparently not. :( > Please try to avoid similar flaws when carrying out future changes. Hello, Thank you for your feedback, and sorry for the delay in replying. The old archiving system that was in use until recently was no longer maintained and had several issues that resulted in problems with the generated archives. In cooperation with our IT department, we chose a newer, more resilient system and completed the implementation a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately, the message indexes follow a completely different pattern in the new system, so it is not a simple matter of redirecting through HTTP. After the feedback received regarding this move, we are looking into ways of implementing a programmatic solution that would allow old links to function with the new system. However, that will not be available straight away and will require development and testing. We apologise for the inconvenience caused in the meantime. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader -- http://www.ripe.net

New mailing list hardware and software at the RIPE NCC
by Mihnea-Costin Grigore 01 Nov '11

01 Nov '11

[Apologies for duplicates] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC is in the process of updating its mailing list hardware and software. This will allow us to implement new features on the mailing lists, such as a complex search functionality throughout the archives. The new servers are currently undergoing testing and will be put into production today -- 13 October, 2011. You do not need to take any action and all subscriptions and settings will be copied over to the new system. However, we would like to inform you that, after implementation, the mailing list archives will have a slightly different look and you will need to update any direct links to messages in the archives. A description of all RIPE and RIPE NCC mailing lists can be found here: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/mail We apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact us at webmaster(a)ripe.net if you encounter any issues following the implementation. Regards, -- Mihnea-Costin Grigore RIPE NCC Web Services Team Leader - http://www.ripe.net/

Verify your LIR Portal email address before 17 October 2011
by Alex Band 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

Dear Colleagues, We are in the process of rolling out RIPE NCC Access. This will enable you to access various RIPE NCC services using just one password instead of having to sign in to each tool or service separately. We've already enabled RIPE NCC Access for IS Alarms and the next service scheduled for migration is the LIR Portal. Because this is our most used service, it is likely that you will soon have a RIPE NCC Access account. Because RIPE NCC Access uses your email address as your username, the email address that is currently associated with your LIR Portal account will become your new RIPE NCC Access username. This username can then be used to log into IS Alarms and the LIR Portal and other services as they are migrated to RIPE NCC Access. Please log into the LIR Portal and verify your email address in the top right corner. If you would like to use a different email address than the one displayed for your RIPE NCC Access account, please contact your LIR Portal Administrator and ask them to update it before 17 October, 2011, to ensure a smooth migration. The LIR Portal can be found online at: https://lirportal.ripe.net/ If you have any questions or comments about this, please contact <sw-enhancements(a)ripe.net> Kind regards, Alex Band Product Manager RIPE NCC

Deployment of REST Interfaces to the RIPE Database
by Denis Walker 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

[Apologies for duplicate emails] Dear colleagues, The RIPE NCC Database Group is pleased to announce the deployment of the RIPE Database RESTful Web Services API. These are REST interfaces to the RIPE Database. The latest version of the API offers full CRUD support and also new advanced methods to programmatically manipulate RIPE Database objects. These services have been available for a while as discussed on RIPE Labs. They have now been migrated to our production servers and are fully supported. Documentation can be found on RIPE Labs: https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-documentation https://labs.ripe.net/ripe-database/database-api/api-introduction https://labs.ripe.net/Members/Paul_P_/create-update-and-delete-via-the-rest… The development of these services will continue through our iterative development process. Whilst the fundamentals won't change, we will be responding to ideas, suggestions and any bug reports as we continue to develop them. For this reason we would consider them as beta releases for a while. Regards, Denis Walker Business Analyst RIPE NCC Database Group
