[arin-tech-discuss] returned error message when I am trying to create an OrgHandle....

Hi Ron,

Good question.  I believe the biggest virtue of recipient customer orgs is
to allow the upstream to control all aspects of the objects.  What does
that mean? In the old days of SWIP, before REST, there was no concept of
recipient orgs.  So here's what would happen:

1) You would SWIP a /29 to a customer with a reassign-detailed template.
Three things would happen as a result:
- a POC would be created for the customer
- an OrgID would be created for the customer
- the /29 would be delegated from the ISP to the new OrgID with the new POC

2) The customer eventually discos.  The ISP sends in netmod template and
"R"emoves the /29 reassignment to the OrgID.

3) The POC and the OrgID defining the customer would then sit in ARIN's
Whois in perpetuity, so the contact information was never really scrubbed.
  This was less than ideal for those customers.   I've taken many phone
calls and emails over the years from old customers of ISPs who were very
unhappy their contact information (address, sometimes home address, phone,
sometimes mobile phone) was found in ARIN's Whois for the whole world to
see.

Today, you can:

1) Create a POC
2) Create a recipient ORG
3) Reassign the /29 to the recipient ORG

When the customer disco, you then:

4) Delete the /29
5) Delete the ORG
6) Delete the POC

And it's all done by the RESTful system you're designing so it's all
automated and lightning quick.  As a result, ARIN Whois is much cleaner,
and your former customers don't have all their sensitive contact
information sitting in ARIN's Whois.

I hope I explained that well.  There may be other benefits of recipient
ORGs which I'm not thinking about right now, but which I'm sure someone
will remind me of and I'll share with the list :)

Best,
David

What is the purpose of sending the Parent Handle when create "Recipient
Customer Org" is done?

Thanks,

Hi Ron!

The resulting OrgID can be assigned IP addresses out of any parent block
(and even from blocks registered to other ISPs).

David

Hi David,

When CTL calls with "Recipient Customer Org" does this mean that the ORG
ID that it creates can only be assigned to IP Addresses that have the same
Parent Handle as what the ORG ID is created with?

Thanks
Ron

Hiya again,

So there are two different Org creates:

- a standard Org Handle, which is what you sent.  It results in an OrgID
in Whois which can be used for anything.  Requests to create new OrgIDs
are reviewed by ARIN staff

- "Recipient Customer Org" creates an OrgID which can be managed by an ISP
like Century Link. I think that's the org create you are looking for.
When you POST a recipient customer org create, it will auto-approve and
send you the handle back.

Best,
David

Thanks a lot, David. It is the url problem.

Now I got this xml returned,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><ticket

I remember it used to return me a new orgHandel instead of ticket number.
Am I missing anything or Arin won't return OrgHandle immediately anymore?

Hiya Sean Zhao,

Looks to me like the problem is your URL.  It's /rest/org/  rather than
/rest/net/org/

Try that out and let us know if you continue to have errors.

Best,
David

Hi,
                I am trying to create and org handle vs RESTFul. But I
keep getting an error message, like this, <?xml version="1.0"

The url I am using
https://www.arin.net/rest/net/org/?apikey=MyAPIKey

this url & payload worked before back to early of 2010. Am I missing any
updated things?
