Dear Sirs,
let me inform you that we have activated support for a mailing address
on test environments, which also caused to make the schema change and
the necessary co-operation on your side.
We plan to make this change in production systems in the second week in
January 2018, we will inform you about the exact date.
To increase the certainty that the above change will take place without
complications,
please pay attention to the following instructions and do the following
tests on the test environment.
Even if you do not plan to use a mailing address, a return value for
info_contact will contain it for objects that will have it completed in
the registry. You can already test info_contact operation for a contact
with a mailing address with a contact we have created:
CONTACT-TEST-MAILING-ADDR.
We have also made the necessary changes in the fred-client which can be
downloaded
at: https://www.nic.cz/page/744/registracni-system/ - FredClient scripts
- new version
<https://www.nic.cz/files/nic/doc/fred-client-2.9.0-rc2.tar.gz>
Changes in fred-client are described in doc/README_ [CS | EN]. [txt |
html] (Chapter 9. Client Version 2.9 -
Mailing address in contact)
Incompatible changes should only be made for the command-line interface
of the fred-client when using positional parameters and concurrent
entering the cltrid parameter because the mailing address was in this
input mode added before cltrid, e.g.:
create_contact CONTACT-TEST 'Jane Doe' jane.doe(a)nic.cz 'Unknown 42'
'Twin Peaks' "" CZ NULL NULL NULL +420.111111111 () NULL () NULL
(("Milesovska Praha" "CZ)) cltrid-000001
The same should apply for update_contact.
It is true that you should upgrade to new schemas and if
you use fred-client (in any way) then upgrade also the fred-client. If
you do not do it (e.g. because you do not plan to use a mailing
address), then in case of a reply to info_contact of the contact that has it
configured, you will not be able to validate your reply via the old
schemas. So, we especially
recommend that you test everything on the test.
What to do in points:
1. Download new schemas in case you want on your side to validate requests
or answers from us - https://www.nic.cz/files/nic/doc/schemas-2.4.0.zip
a) If you are using our client or its library, then download and
install fred-client -
https://www.nic.cz/files/nic/doc/fred-client-2.9.0-rc2.tar.gz
b) Read doc/README_ [CS | EN]. [txt | html] chapter about mailing
address
2. Configure the system for new schemas (see 1.)
3. Test communication at least for commands (create_contact,
update_contact, info_contact) even if you do not plan to have a mailing list
4. Make the appropriate changes in your systems if you want to work
with a mailing address
5. Test communication against our test environment
6. Deploy new schemas into your production systems (you can do it already
after successful testing at any time, at the latest on the date we make the
change in January).
If you have any questions, please contact me.

Dear Sirs,
on November 15, 2017 at 0:00 to 4:00 AM (the timing will be in the zone
CET - Central European Time) the domain management system shutdown will
be carried out. The system will be unavailable during the shutdown.
At that time there will not be available information associated with the
registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and expired
domains of registrars.
Furthermore, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and RDAP; displaying a list
of registrars; establishing requests for authinfo, blocking and
unblocking; mojeID profile editor, interface for creating mojeID
accounts and login into the domain browser will not work as well.
During the shutdown there will be deployed
- the refractory EPP code (especially methods for poll messages and work
with
credit - all without changes to the existing interface, changes occur
only at
element texting <reason> in EPP answers)
- mailing address administration options via EPP (will result
in the change of schema, that is why we will launch it at the beginning
of 2018, the mailing address administration options will be turned on in
the next few days on the test environment, we will give you details so
you can tune your systems.)
- adjustments in contacts merging (we will launch it in the next weeks)
- and other minor changes
All these changes are already implemented on the cz-test instance.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Dear Sirs,
on May 31, 2017 at 0:00 to 4:00 AM (the timing will be in the zone CEST
- Central European Summer Time) the domain management system shutdown
will be carried out. The system will be unavailable during the shutdown.
At that time there will not be available information associated with the
registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and expired
domains of registrars.
Furthermore, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and RDAP; displaying a list
of registrars; establishing requests for authinfo, blocking and
unblocking; mojeID profile editor, interface for creating mojeID
accounts and login into the domain browser will not work as well.
During the shutdown there will be deployed several optimizations for our
helpdesk, error correction in domain recovery notification, adjustment
of automatic email informing about domain exclusion from the zone and
other minor changes.
All these changes are already implemented on the cz-test instance.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Dear Sirs,
on May 3, 2017 at 08:00 PM to May 4, 2017 4:00 AM (the timing will be in the zone CEST - Central European Summer Time) the domain management shutdown will be carried out. The system will be unavailable during the shutdown.
The earlier start and longer shutdown time is enforced by the scale and type of changes we plan to make.
At that time there will not be available information associated with the registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and expired domains of registrars.
Furthermore, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and RDAP; displaying a list of registrars; establishing requests for authinfo, blocking and unblocking; mojeID profile editor, interface for creating mojeID accounts and login into the domain browser will not work as well.
I would like to point out the fact that the earlier start of the shutdown will mean the impossibility of last-minute domain renewals.
During the shutdown there will be upgraded the PostgreSQL database to the 9.6 version and there will be deployed changes related with this step.
The new system version is already implemented on the cz-test instance.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
