Copy multiple partitions with the PARTITIONMANAGE COPY user interface

You can invoke the PARTITIONMANAGE COPY user interface to make multiple selections of partitions to copy. Invoke the command line using the following syntax:

proutil target-database -C partitionmanage copy source source-database
