Hi,

As per the help : [RESOURCES] , the search folders are from top to bottom. I gave a path for the patches first and then mentioned the actual application resources second. So that I expect the changes in patches would be picked up and reflect in application. 

I'm using Uniface 10.4.01 and I don't see the changes in the application.

If I copy the compiled components from patches and overwrite the files in sources directory, I see the changes in application. So the files are correct but its not referred by the application as per the [resources]. Can anyone please let me know why the file is not reflecting in application ?

Thanks,
Satheesh

    We use the UAR zip files in this manner, with a folder for 'quick patches'. It works for us. 

    I can only think that (maybe) you are not following the folder structure in the patches folder? It needs to be patches_folder/frm, patches_folder/svc in the same way the main resources folder is structured. 

    Also, components are cached, so to pick up the new ones, you must close the application and re-start it (or stop the uservers if the process is a server based service). 

    Regards,

    Just a thought but maybe you have an included asn file that determines the search order before your assignments.  

    Something like

    main.asn

    #file .\\myasn.asn

    [RESOURCES]
    .\\resources\\patch

    myasn.asn

    [RESOURCES]
    .\\resources
