DS7: move collections

[gonza...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I'm using DS 7.6.1.

I need to move several collections. I have successfully used community-filiator to move communities, but as far as I can see, I can't use it for collections. Is it a safe alternative to directly update the IDs in the community2collection table? I want to avoid any current or future conflicts with data integrity, user permissions, etc.

I've seen recommendations on updating community2collection table on this mailing list. But I've found old posts only, so I just want to know if this is still a safe approach on DS7.

(Sorry for cross-posting with the Slack channel, but I haven't received any reply there.)

Just an update in case anyone finds this in the future.

From Kim Shepherd's answer in the Slack channel:

"for this i think updating the join table and then doing a full discovery reindex and OAI reindex should be fine - the Collection and Community hibernate models only refer to that join table"

"i logged an issue as i think this should be a feature available via REST.. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/9824"
