Introduction

This wiki help page assumes that you have used the three system setup procedures to install an Ubuntu server with DSpace software.

The functionality to export communities, whole collections and items using the XMLUI, only became available with DSpace versions => 1.7.0.

For older versions of DSpace please check the following procedures and instructions.

Determining Collection and Item ID's

Collection ID's are the ones that appear in the browser URL when you hover over the collection with a mouse. Check the URL for the full handle. The collection ID is shown after handle prefix, ie. If you have not registered with CNRI, the number that appears after 123456789/.

Step 1. Export on the old server

Step 2. Import on the new server
