Solution I tried copying idf.aps from uniface/components file from my uniface 9.7 to uniface 10, uniface/components (as this folder itself was missing, and didn't had the .aps file for unifacen10.)


Still getting the same error.

It doesn't use the aps file from a folder any more, as uniface has moved to .uar deployment. 

I'd be looking at comparing your idf asn file with the one shipped with uniface 10 and understanding the files involved (RESOURCES should include the files below.)

usys:ide.uar
usys:ide_messages.uar
usys:ide_classic.uar

Hi Shubham,

IMHO it is NEVER a reasonable thing to mix objects coming from two major versions.

Your issue is definitively about Standard Deployment, as Iain as already pointed out, AND possible modifications you've applied to your ASN files.

With Standard Deployment you MUST work with .UAR files only; you should NOT address Uniface runtime objects (.frm. .svc, .rpt, ... and so on ...) directly but referring to UAR files containing them into [RESOURCE] section of your ASN file. Each UAR file is containing a pre-defined directory structure.

More info HERE.

Uniface 10 IDE itself is distributed using Standard Deployment.

Hope it helps.

Regards,
Gianni
