Outstanding technical questions #28

Closed jeff-cohere closed 3 months ago

This issue tracks technical questions and any related decisions that affect the intended behavior of the DTS.

  1. Where exactly do the files in a transfer end up? At the source, files are selected for a transfer, and these files live wherever. At the destination, we should probably gather all files for a transfer into a directory that is named after the transfer ID (or something). That gives us a place to put our manifest file, and allows us to create whatever subdirectory structure we like. This probably needs some discussion.
  2. Does the DTS connect with the Credit Engine to provide metadata for files within the manifest?
