Is there another way to immediately move a document set to another library in a another site?
Here is what I have done:
- Created send to locations in SharePoint Admin Records Management using the service: /_vti_bin/officialfile.asmx
- Enabled Content Organizer in both libraries and added specific content type to drop off library in target site as well as target library
- Created rule in target site to send specified content type to target library
- Process:
Create document set in originating library
When document set is ready, select it and sent to other location
The document set is then zipped and sent to the drop off library in target site - Overnight the document set is successfully moved to target library by the content organizer timer job.
Problem: I can’t wait that long. Once document set is ready and the copy initiated, I need it to arrive in the target library within minutes.
Is there another way to achieve the same result without the time delay?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I am not a developer. Thank you.
Check this article which will show how to move documents using SharePoint 2013 workflows. This approach works well for SharePoint 2013 on premise deployment as well as for SharePoint Online in Office 365.

Additionally, you can try this SharePoint migration solution that allows to move document sets to from one library to another library easily and efficiently.
Hope this helps!
Hi Sharon,
You can use our product Workflow Actions Pack, there is workflow action called Copy DocumentSet and over 90 other workflow actions.
Hi Sharon,
We built a software called MetaVis Migrator for SharePoint that, among other things, can copy document sets (and any other items) between SharePoint locations, from library to library even to different SharePoint farm. You can copy using interactive GUI or command line. You can also schedule command line to run using Windows Scheduler and make it pick new or updated document sets during each run.

Good luck with your project,
