The target file in the first constituent is converted to a multipart file in the first constituent with a file location for the new file in the first constituent. A new file is created in the second constituent. Contents of the target file are moved to a new file on the second constituent while maintaining access via the associated file handle via access to the multipart file. The target file is deleted from the first constituent.
