Description

Hello Dataverse Community,

Is there a way to migrate with the API (version 5.1x) some DataFiles that have a DOI dedicated to a different existing installation ?
(I means to a different Dataverse installation).

It concerns more than 15 000 files, i can't do it by hand. I need some scripted procedure. (API at most SQL at least)

I see in the API Documentation that is possible with the Datasets but the question remains for the DataFiles associated with it.

Thanks in advance for help for a possible procedure,

Regards

Research direction

Start with the API documentation for dataset migration and check what it says about DataFiles and DOIs in version 5.1x. Then inspect the available API and SQL migration entry points; done means identifying a reliable scripted procedure for migrating more than 15,000 files between Dataverse installations.
