APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
When you migrating inflight instances from one snapshot to another, the tasks that have dynamic group references are not updated accordingly. As a result, references linger when all instances or tasks have been migrated to a new snapshot. This issue might lead to other issues, such as errors when you delete snapshots, because these group references are not updated.
