Hi all,
My problem was that (as a test whether i can modify the object) i tried
to change the first line/attribute: "role".
this is a "lookup key" per [1] and can not be changed.
Changing other attributes works.
Thanks Keessun for your help!
We agreed that documentation might need improvements.
Have a good time - and let's have the cables fixed soon....

Hi all,
Hi Frank,
Thanks for keeping the WG as active as you can, brother :'-(
I hope/trust that's not a question for "Support"...
...sure!
But, someone should explain how Policy
Manual have been used in building the
business rules behind implementation :-)
I tried to update/modify a role object, and got this (sorry for the
line
breaks):
What's the difference with other objects?
PII (Person Identifiable Information) risk?
***Error: Person/Role name cannot be changed automatically. Please
create
...time to *automate* the process?
another Person/Role object and modify any references
to the old
object, then delete the old object
:-/ so the object's history would be lost?
I can't see a reason why
...i don't also agree that:
'delete' right
is easily grantable than
'update' right
:-/ ...i would have understood a kind of
intent implementation of a "protect *new created* objects in order to
avoid an accidental deletion" policy...
Such as:
"A WhoisDB object can only be deleted
after a *reasonable* amount of time; at least :
$new_delete_prevent_time seconds"
->Protected object! please try again after
$new_delete_prevent_time seconds;
in case you *really* need to delete it ;-)
updates to role projects should not be allowed.
I even think that's the main purpose....
So, am I missing something?
Thanks,
Frank

PS: AfriNIC staff:
I got "Internal software error" when i wanted to delete
SNHT55555-AFRINIC
less than 1 minute after creating it
...interesting behaviour :-\
< $new_delete_prevent_time?
wanted to delete it with the line
delete: remove
added
according to
delete: <comment>
under section "2.2.4 Deleting an object"
in
https://afrinic.net/press/197-database-afrinic-database-reference-manual-
<https://afrinic.net/press/197-database-afrinic-database-reference-manual->
deleting without the comment worked.
Noted!
...by the way, have you first reproduced
your initial testing steps/constraints[*]?
:-)
__
[*]: (i) create an object; (ii) delete within a minute; (iii) ...
Can that section in that manual be reviewed?
For the *remastering* activity concerning
the Whois Manual & documentation, it
should be done openly & collaboratively;
imho!
...it would be interesting to contribute on
it under a public/locally [.] accessible git
repository or a self hosted [.] wiki engine.

If google sent me to an outdated document, can we remove it?
...or simply versioned and archived?
Please see here [1] for appropriate facts.
