Hi,
I need to move the dataset from one directory to another.
can i do that using mv command.
Well in the guide Asscential doesn't recommend to copy the datasets using cp command but there is no reference to moving the datasets using mv command.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can not copy or move or delete a Data Set. A Data Set consists of potentially many files, on the resource disk specified for the various nodes in your configuration file. You have no convenient way of knowing (while at the command line) which files belong to which Data Set. Even if you did, the control file for the Data Set contains pathnames; this control file is not a text file, so can not be edited.
Use the orchadmin command (a copy followed by a delete), or the Data Set Management tool. These are the only safe ways.
