Slide 19: DataWedge Intent APIs
DataWedge Intent APIs 1. DataWedge Intent APIs have been around for several years 2. The Intent APIs were introduced to allow developers to programmatically configure, control DataWedge and receive important application-level notifications from DataWedge 3. Advantage of DataWedge intent APIs is that
