APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When creating a new container during data set migration
  to cloud, the cloud may incorrectly indicate that the
  container has been created,when it was actually deffered.
  The subsequent migration of the data set to the cloud
  storage can result in lost objects because the container
  does not exist.

  During data set migration to the cloud APPMETA fails to be
  stored because the required container does not exist, or is not
  yet available. Attempts to RECALL the data set will fail.

  Specifying the maximum amount of time to wait for the
  Cloud Container creation.
  
  Migrate to cloud function provides a patchable field in the
  MCVT which allows users to specify the maximum create
  container wait time in seconds.
  The default value is 60 seconds.
  Issue the following PATCH command to set the new value:
  
  PATCH .MGCB.+540 X'nnnn'
  Where nnnn is a maximum wait time in seconds.
  
  Specifying the interval of Cloud Container creation.
  
  The interval of Cloud Container creation is a patchable field
  in the MCVT which allows users to specify the Cloud
  Container creation interval in days.
  The default value is 7 days.
  Issue the following PATCH command to set the new value:
  PATCH .MGCB.+50F X'nn'
  Where nn is a hexadecimal value specifying the Cloud
  Container creation interval in number of days
