[arin-announce] OT&E Servers Available to Test Upcoming SWIP Changes

[ARIN]

As announced on 10 February 2020, ARIN is implementing two new 
community-driven policy changes in the week of 30 March 2020. This 
implementation will require you to make changes to your scripts if you 
perform Detailed Reassignments or Reallocations using RESTful methods to 
SWIP. It will also change the ARIN Online workflow for Detailed 
Reassignments and Reallocations. ARIN has set up two designated test 
servers in our Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) Environment to 
allow you to test configuration changes and make sure your SWIPs can be 
processed after this implementation.

To try out the reassignment and reallocation changes in ARIN Online, 
access the OT&E server at https://account-swip.ote.arin.net/public/login 
and navigate to IP Addresses > Reassign Addresses to begin testing.

To test RESTful calls using the OT&E server, modify your RESTful 
commands to use the URL reg-swip.ote.arin.net in place of reg.arin.net. 
Documentation for RESTful commands can be found here: 
https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/regrws/

Please note that these changes also include changes to the way that 
email templates for Detailed Reassignments and Reallocations are 
processed. Testing for template changes is not available, but you can 
find links to the new templates and more information about template 
processing at

Additional information about these changes can be found on the blog post
