The following script merges 2 or more Projects into a single target Project. The name of the target Project is “Merged Project”, and the description contains the source project hashes.
The source Projects must to have the same Ontology and different Datasets.
In the following script, ensure that you:
  • Replace <private_key_path> with the file path to your private key.
  • Replace <project_hash-1> and <project_hash-2> with the hashes of the Projects you want to merge. You can add any number of Project hashes to merge.
