If I remember correctly you couldn't work with indexes in Best Practice mode until 8.0, maybe 8.1. That and deployable apps are the two major limitations that I seem to to remember from the initial release of Overlays.
Jason ** Raj, You should not be in base development mode ever (for the most part)....and no, you won't see an index created in overlay in base, because the only things you see in base are things that were there when BMC shipped them...and it wasn't there, so you won't see it :) On Wed, Aug 21, 2013 at 3:25 PM, Raj <ravi6...@gmail.com> wrote: > ** > Hi All, > I am working through ARS upgrade from v5.1.2 to v8.1.
