Hi Paul,

 

Thanks for the reply. I'm still struggling to understand this though :-(

So whenever a new url/ip is added, how do we know how long we have to action this, ie before the IP or url starts being used? I know the policy states we get 30 days' notice.

 

I only know of 2 dates which are published: the effective date (available in the changes REST service) which is the one that always seems to be in the past or up to I think at most 1 day in the future, and the version number (from the endpoints REST service) from which you can derive the date (which is never in the future).

Do we assume it's version published date plus 30 days? And if so, how would we know if there was ever an exception to the rule requiring an emergency update with less than 30 days' notice?

 

Thanks

 

Steve
