If you work with RBE it also becomes necessary because the RBE forms don’t 
really work right in the Mid Tier.  I could customize the forms to fix them 
without a lot of effort, but it’s even easier just to load up the User Tool.

My main use for the user tool for v8x versions is to export bulk data out of 
the system into an arx file. If BMC would add both the "Add All Fields" and 
"Remove All Fields" to the "AR System" .arx report type via the webified report 
builder, I would no longer have a need for the thick client.

Some changes in the server in version 9.0 mean that the User Tool is unable to 
work with overlaid forms.  Searches, creates and modifies result in a 303 Form 
does not exist on server error as the client references the form name with the 
__o extension which the server does not recognise.

Problem
The Remedy User Tool client is unable to create records or perform searches 
when using overlaid forms from an ARS 9.0 server.  The form can be opened but 
any other operations result in an ARERR 303 Form does not exist on server error.
Solution
 This is due to changes in the way overlays are stored in the 9.0 metadata. The 
__o extension is no longer used but the .arf form definition which is exported 
by the server, and used by the User Tool, still includes it.  The client tries 
to use the form name from the .arf file when sending API calls to the server 
but the server does not recognise the name and returns the 303 error.
A defect has been created to track this (SW00490959) but, as the User Tool is 
no longer supported, it is not clear whether this will be addressed.
