[Apologies for multiple emails] Dear colleagues, As part of the continued efforts to improve its services, the RIPE NCC is migrating the RIPE Database updates service to a more advanced infrastructure. For the migration, we need to disable all updates to the RIPE Database. On 21 June 2010, between 07:00 and 08:00 (UTC), you may experience outages with the RIPE Database update services. Updates sent via syncupdates will be rejected. Updates sent via mail will be queued and processed after the migration. Other services relying on RIPE Database updates will show problems. For example, webupdates will not work and the LIR Portal will not be able to update objects. RIPE Database Queries, NRTM and any service that does not rely on RIPE Database updates will continue working without interruption. This migration is at the infrastructure level of the service. There should be no visible change to the service for users after the migration is complete. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. Kind regards, Agoston Horvath Database Group RIPE NCC
