new-handle (implicit creation of a new contact)

This means the definition of a new contact. if a contact with the provided email address exists in the JOKER-DATABASE, a new contact will be created.

ATTENTION

According to the rules of NEULEVEL, the fieldlength for most of the requestfields are limited to 30 characters. Please check very carefully the definitions of the request fields.

The name of the request field depends on the context. If you want to create a contact for the owner-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "owner-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the admin-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "admin-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the tech-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "tech-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the billing-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "billing-contact".

There is a new request field called name within the contact definition. This field is mandatory, if you do not provide the fnamelname. You have to provide the request field name, if fname and lname are not found. This is very important for the whois output. Everytime a field person is shown. If you are using the request field name, the whois is showing the value for name, regardless the content of the request fields fname and lname. If you do not provide the request field name but your are providing the request fields fname and lname, the whois is showing the concatenation of these fields.

Please, keep in mind, that if you are using the concatenation of fname and lname, you have to care that the sum of both fields should not be longer than 30 characters.

There is also a new request field called address-3 within the contact definition. This field is not mandatory, it is simply the 3rd line of the address.

An existing contact (@bizcont or @same-as) (.biz only)

This means an existing contact handle in the JOKER-DATABASE.

Examples:

owner-contact-handle: CNEU-12345
admin-contact-handle: CNEU-12345
tech-contact-handle: CNEU-12345
billing-contact-handle: CNEU-12345

In case you have entered a non-existing contact handle, the system will send you an errormail.

It is also possible to set a reference to a contact definition, which has been made earlier within the current request. To do so, please use the following syntax:

admin-contact-handle:same-as-owner-contact

tech-contact-handle:same-as-admin-contact

billing-contact-handle:same-as-tech-contact

The @same-as makro always replaces the value for the specified contact handle with the email address of the makrotarget. If the referenced contact has to be created with this request, it takes the result handle.

Keep in mind that for .biz-requests the contact handles for (.com/.net/.org/.info)-contacts are not allowed. If you are referencing to a shortcut like hans@nose.net#1, you will get an error.

Note that for .biz-requests the contacthandles for (.info)-contacts are not allowed. If you referencing to a shortcut like C176269-LRMS, you will get an error.
