RIPE Database Software and Tools
| RIPE Database Tools These tools are designed to help manage and maintain whois data in the RIPE Database. | Network Management Tools Useful utilities that we (the RIPE NCC) produced for you (our members) to manage your resources and help you with your resource requests. | Syntax Checkers The LIR Portal has the functionality to do real-time syntax checking on request forms and offer interactive help. As a result, you will not have to syntax check your request before copying and pasting it in your email client. | Routing Tools These tools are designed to help make routing information more convenient and useful for network engineers. |

Syntax Checkers
The RIPE NCC has a test facility that replicates the request robot's behaviour.
You can use this system by sending test requests to this email address: test-hostmaster _at_ ripe _dot_ net
Resource request forms mailed to test-hostmaster _at_ ripe _dot_ net are processed in exactly the same way as requests mailed to hostmaster _at_ ripe _dot_ net, except:
- it will not create/update tickets
- it will not store incoming and outgoing emails
- it makes no changes in the ticket database
- it uses NCC#9999999999 as the default ticket number for newly created tickets
If you have any questions about the test facility please email sw-bugs _at_ ripe _dot_ net.
