Hi,
The problem with a mixed system, is that in Base Development, you can not see
any Custom/Overlay objects. As a consequence you can not build anything that
interacts with the Custom/Overlay objects.
So I suggest you do one of two things:
1. Do everything in Base Development
2. Convert all modifications to Custom/Overlay objects
If you do number 2, you will do all the rest of your development in Best
Practice Mode.
One lack with Best Practice Mode, is that you can not create Deployable
Applications there. In that case you have to create those in Base Mode...
Maybe BMC fixed this in 8.0/8.1, but I have not read anything about it.
Another thing is the more granular overlay feature available in 8.1. I think
it will be much better to work in an 8.1 system than in previous versions
where you overlaid complete objects. But I have not tested it yet.
