We have overlaid AST:BaseElement and nothing has blown up yet. :) -----Original Message----- From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:arslist@ARSLIST.ORG] On Behalf Of Jason Miller Sent: Tuesday, July 28, 2015 7:45 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Overlay on AST:BaseElement
** I haven't specifically done this but since it is an Asset Management form and not a CMDB form you should be fine. That is what they tell me anyways :) Jason On Tue, Jul 28, 2015 at 4:10 PM, Andrew Hicox <and...@hicox.com> wrote: ** Hi everyone. Does anyone out there know of good reasons NOT to overlay AST:BaseElement? The short story is that I need to see 'LastScanDate' from BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement, along side my asset data. AST:BaseElement seems like the natural place to do this, since it joins AST:Attributes and BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement. All I should need to do is create an overlay and bring in 'LastScanDate' from BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement ... super easy. And in fact, I have done this on my dev box, and it SEEMS ok, but then I got to thinking about it ... In the past, I made the horrendous mistake of overlaying BMC.CORE:BMC_BaseElement, and THAT truely hosed my system on upgrade (even though I deleted the overlay prior to upgrading). I'd hate to stumble into that sort of minefield again. A quick search on communities didn't seem to turn up a whole lot, so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone have experience overlaying AST:BaseElement? Did it work out for you? Cause nightmares?
