[arin-tech-discuss] Multiple simple reassigns to a single customer?

[David Huberman]

Hello Aaron,

Customer org records may only have one reassignment. Why?
It's a database constraint from the Whois model that's
been in use since 2002.  With the recent development of
ARIN's RESTful API, there are opportunities for us to
re-work the database schema to allow multiple assignments
to customer org records -- opportunities which didn't
exist prior to March 2011.  The staff here would like to
make that happen. Such a change, however, is major in
scope, and is expensive. It is not presently on the
schedule of software development.  It is our hope we will
perform this change in the future.

Process-wise, there are two methods I can think of:

- if you're using simple reassignments, then you create
a customer org record every time you reassign a distinct
block of IP addresses.

- if you're planning on multiple assignments to the same
customer, you have the option of using the CREATE
RECIPIENT ORG method, and doing a detailed reassignment
to the OrgID.  Real OrgIDs can have an unlimited number
of IP address blocks and AS numbers.

Regards,


David

I thought the process was:
1) Create a customer record
2) reassign simple
if additional assignments needed:
	1) select stored arin_cust_id
	2) reassign to same arin_cust_id

But.. This is the response I get from the server when I attempt to simple
reassign a second block:

What is the expected behavior and process?

Cheers,
Aaron
