Validating Projects

After you have created a project, you add resources to it and supply configuration information for your resources.

Before you prepare a project for deployment, it is critical that you validate it. TIBCO Designer includes reference-checking and other validation facilities that allow you to make sure a project is internally consistent. This is essential if you intend to run the project, or hand it to another user.

During validation, each resource always checks for broken references. Many resources have other resource-specific validation behavior.

To Validate a Resource

•	Select the resource to be validated, then choose Resources > Validate Resource from the menu bar.

•	With the resource selected, choose the Validate Resource icon.

To Validate All Resources

•	Choose Project > Validate Project for deployment.

•	Click the Validate Project for Deployment icon.

Note that TIBCO Designer handles references as strings. TIBCO Designer will help keep these references up to date, for example, when you move a resource to a different location. It is, however, possible to have "broken" references, for example, if you delete a resource and ignore the warnings displayed by TIBCO Designer. You can use the validation commands to find broken references.

By default, TIBCO Designer prompts whether you wish to perform reference checking each time you perform an activity that might result in a broken reference (move, rename, and so forth). You can change the default behavior using the Edit > Preferences > References tab.
