Using Copy Data Profiles

After you select members for the Copy Data process, you can save them as a Copy Data Profile. This enables you to later retrieve the information for the Copy process without needing to make member selections again.

When you select Copy Data, the system displays a list of profiles that you have saved. You can select a profile and run the Copy Data process, edit a profile and save it, or save as a modified profile. You can duplicate an existing profile, and delete any profiles that you no longer need.
