Abstract
List structures of a shared storage processor of a computing environment are copied. A copy operation for a list structure of the shared storage processor is initiated. Although the list structure is owned by an exploiter of the list structure, one or more objects of the list structure are copied via an operating system of the computing environment. The one or more objects are copied from the list structure to another list structure of the computing environment. Both list structures may be located within the same shared storage processor or within different shared storage processors.
