Intents

An intent describes abstract constraints on the behavior of a component, or on interactions between components. Intents let application designers specify requirements in a high-level, abstract form, independent of the configuration details of the runtime and bindings. Intents guide administrators as they configure bindings, policies, and runtime details.

Intents apply at specific types of services, references, bindings, and components. If you specify an intent on a composite, TIBCO Business Studio applies it at all the appropriate services and references within the composite but not in sub-composites.
