Hello Ann, you can try the patch for the move item feature for xmlui: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-238
The move on db level is not that difficult. Make sure you got the proper backups. The sql commands for moving a single item are: update item set owning_collection=NewCollectionID where item_id=ItemID; update collection2item set collection_id=NewCollectionID where collection_id=OldCollectionID; Then run index-update. Hope that helps Claudia Jürgen > Hello Claudia, > We're using 1.5 xmlui - so I guess we'll need to wait for the next > version if we want to avoid using the db method.
