     Submitting objects to the APNIC Test Whois Database




  Before you can register any resources in the APNIC Test Whois
  Database, you must first create your own person and maintainer
  objects, using the three-step process described below.
  
  
  
  1.  Create a person object based on the template below:
  
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
      	person:       
      	address:       
      	country:       
      	phone:         
      	fax-no:        
      	e-mail:        
      	nic-hdl:       
      	remarks:       
     	notify:        
      	mnt-by:       MAINT-AP-TESTAPNIC-NULL
      	changed:       
      	source:       TESTAPNIC
      	- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
      
      For information on how to complete the attributes of a 
      person object, see "Attributes of person objects" at:
      
      	http://www.apnic.net/db/ref/attributes/attributes-person.html

      Submit the completed person object to:
  
	<test-dbm@apnic.net>
	
      When you receive an email from the APNIC Test Whois Database
      telling you that the submission was a success, you can proceed
      with the creation of a maintainer object.
	
	
	
  2.  Create a maintainer object based on the template below:
  
        - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
      	mntner:        
      	descr:         
      	country:       
      	admin-c:       
      	tech-c:        
      	upd-to:        
      	mnt-nfy:       
      	auth:          
      	remarks:       
      	notify:        
      	mnt-by:        
      	referral-by:  MAINT-AP-TESTAPNIC-NULL
      	changed:       
      	source:       TESTAPNIC
      	- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
     
      Refer to your new test database person objects in the
      admin-c and tech-c attributes.

      For information on how to complete the attributes of a 
      maintainer object, see "Attributes of maintainer objects" at:
      
      	http://www.apnic.net/db/ref/attributes/attributes-mntner.html

      Submit the completed maintainer object to:
  
	<test-dbm@apnic.net>
  
 

  3.  Update the maintainer of your person object (optional)
  
      Follow normal APNIC Whois Database update email procedures to
      update your person object and then submit the object to:
      
      	<test-dbm@apnic.net>


  
  4.  Create other objects as needed
  
      For information on how to submit other objects to the test 
      whois, please refer to "APNIC Test Whois Database" at:
      
      	http://www.apnic.net/db/test-db.html
