Regulating migration and recall actions for high latency media (hlm) on objects or group of objects through metadata locking attributes

A computer program product for controlling a high-latency media (HLM) action on an object or group of objects, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a request to perform the HLM action on the object or group of objects, utilizing the processor;
• identifying metadata associated with the object or group of objects, utilizing the processor;
• and
• conditionally allowing the HLM action to be performed on the object or group of objects, based on the HLM action and the metadata associated with the object or group of objects, utilizing the processor.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
• receive a request to perform a high-latency media (HLM) action on an object or group of objects;
• identify metadata associated with the object or group of objects;
• and
• conditionally allow the HLM action to be performed on the object or group of objects, based on the HLM action and the metadata associated with the object or group of objects.
