DFSMShsm MIGRATE/HMIGRATE CLOUD Container Enhancement

An enhancement to DFSMShsm MIGRATE / HMIGRATE to allow the specification of CONTAINER name and OBJECTPREFIX in conjunction with the CLOUD parameter.

DFSMShsm creates cloud containers to store objects using the default syntax of SYSARC.<HSMplexname>.MIG.yyyydd. By default, a container is created every 7 days, however there is a PATCH command that can be used to change the default value to shorter or larger amounts. HSM only uses the default container name that it creates and HSM does not store objects to user defined or previously defined containers that were created prior to the "active" container name .

The enhancement would allow the specification of CONTAINER name to allow objects to be stored to a previously defined container. If the container does not exist, a secondary option could be that the container will be created.

OBJECTPREFIX would specify a unique prefix for all the objects that make up a particular migration. This could be an optional parameter and if not specified, HSM would use the same naming structure that is currently used.

This request may also necessitate changes for LIST, REPORT, SETSYS, and AUDIT.
