I see that I am able to move a subcommunity to another community using the community-filiator command.  This command works for me.

I would also like to be able to move a collection from one community to another community.  I have not been able to find a mechanism in the XMLUI or the command line interface to perform this action.  Have I overlooked an existing function?


As Terry wrote, the community filiator works only on communities, not on collections. Writing a tool for moving a collection under a different community has been on my list as "maybe someday" for a while. The one time we've had to do it so far, I did so directly in the database.

According to the DSpace Functional Overview (https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Functional+Overview), 
"A collection may appear in more than one community"

I personally would be very careful with relying on that statement.

cheers,
Andrea
