Hi John, at the moment the easiest way is to do it straight on the database. Make sure you got a dump of your db. Assuming you are running postgres with default db-schema it would be:
update community2collection set community_id=NewCommunityID where community_id=OldCommunityID and collection_id=YourCollectionID; Then run [dspace]/bin/index-all to build the indices. E.g. You want to move Collection 34 from Community 3 to Community 7 update community2collection set community_id=7 where community_id=3 and collection_id=34; hope that helps Claudia John Preston schrieb: > Can anyone say what the preferred method of moving a collection (and all its > contents) from one community to another, in DSpace 1.4.2.
