There are a number of existing DC finalizer scripts that call target instantiation and transfer at various points in time.
As these finalizers get converted over to being CUD Checkpoints, I don't believe they can call target instantiation/transfer directly in CUD any more. Instead, a Checkpoint that needs to call TI/Transfer would need to be broken up into multiple different checkpoints where TI/Transfer is one of them. So, for example, with boot_archive_archive.py, it would more or less get distilled into the following distinct checkpoints - 1) Compute various boot_archive properties - size, pad, nbpi, etc 2) Instantiate the boot_archive target 3) Do optional post-processing on that boot_archive in case of sparc 4) Transfer the contents into boot_archive 5) Release the resources setup in (b) 6) Compress the boot_archive Each of these checkpoints will store data needed by any other checkpoints in the DOC as they go along. Does anyone disagree with this?
