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.
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.
