One way to « gain » time maybe would be to run the installer in « pause »
mode.
If they know where the installer fails, you could pause it just before (or a
bit before), do a snapshot from there and do something like altering a form
or whateverŠ

If I remember correctly, you could create your own « pause »:

Objet :  ITSM 7604 SP2 to ITSM 7604 SP5 and Overlays

Overlays are good.  They will make an upgrade easier.  They will make
patching easier.   I call BS on this!
 
I have spent the last 5 weeks with BMC support and all the problems seem to
go back to having overlays and custom fields.  The CMDB patch kept failing.
This was 4 weeks.  Now one week of ITSM failing.
 
My last communication from BMC had this as the last line:

³It seems that some of the form is overlaid and the name "Default
Administrator View" has been provided to the view or the field. We need to
find out that Overlaid object and remove that overlay.²
 
Default Administrator View is the name BMC gave it!
 
How is it I can take a .def file from an installer and load it manually and
it goes through (after renaming the "Default Administrator View" to "Default
Administratar View") and then run the installer and it still comes back with
the forms having the same name?  The patch fails and we start all over
again.
 
Each time we have done this, it takes at a minimum an hour.
 
Is there an easier way to do this?  Thank goodness I had a VM made and this
is not my production system.  There is probably some special installer that
BMC has in their pocket that they pull out when you finally break down and
call in their professional services.
