Abstract

A processing request is received. The processing request includes information about a first location where a set of data is stored and information about a second location where the set of data is to be transferred. The size of the set of data is determined. The size of the available portion of the second location is determined. If the size of the set of data is smaller than the size of the available portion of the second location is determined. Responsive to determining the size of the set of data is larger than the size of the available portion of the second location, the size of the available portion is requested to be increased. The size of the available portion of the second location is increased to a size larger than the determined size of the set of data.
