Resolution

Either increase the zparm IDBACK number 

or if that is difficult 

lower the MAXTHREADS parm in the Migrator Parmlib member 

from 16 to 2  ( 2 is the lowest value that can be used)

In the Migrator member, the MAXTHREADS parameter goes under the SSID section. 

This can be manually added or done thru the Post Install panels.
