I am trying to move a dataset to another dataverse but it does not move it. What can be the problem?

In your curl command, can you please try https instead of http? Or add -L to the curl command to follow the redirect.

What version of Dataverse are you using? Can you use the superuser dashboard to move the dataset? https://guides.dataverse.org/en/6.8/admin/dashboard.html#move-data

Hi @Adília Isabel Domingues da Cruz Alves , you should need to indicate the numeric ID of the dataset not the identifier related to the DOI.

The only way that I know to do it is from the database:
select id from dvobject where identifier='JDNMTY';

Yes! Good point. I was going to point that out next. :smile:

The docs are not clear. Definitely a database id of the dataset will work.

After that, you could use the command changing the dataset id number:
curl -H "X-Dataverse-key: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" -X POST https://dados.ipb.pt/api/datasets/9999/move/Omics

I used the superuser dashboard with success. Thank you for your precious help.
