Dear Sirs,
today on December 12, 2017 at 08:00 PM to 08:30 PM (the timing will be
in the zone CET - Central European Time) the domain management system
shutdown will be carried out.
The EPP connection will not work for a few seconds at that time.
The reason for this shutdown is a deployment of a minor repair for
displaying administratively blocked objects.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

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.
