I had the same issue when I built the WWRUG app last year. The server was 7.6.04 and because I wanted to build the whole thing as a Deployable app to use roles instead of groups I quickly gave up on doing it in Best Practice. Once I upgraded the server to 8.1 earlier this year I converted everything to Custom.
Although now that I think about it some more I couldn't convert the app from Base to Custom... I am looking at it now and the Deployable app is an Overlay. I think since I couldn't convert the app from Base to Custom I overlaid it so it would recognize the other objects once I converted them from Base to Custom. At one point I was going to build fresh Custom Deployable app to move the objects into but I think I had an issue keeping the permissions when moving the objects between apps. <plug your eyes Dan> Unfortunately I didn't document my steps in the conversion process to tell you for sure what and why. I took a snapshot of my VM sandbox, tried a few thing to see what would and wouldn't work and then immediately replicated it on the live server. It was refreshing to work on a project that didn't need all of the documentation, planning, requirements, change requests, etc. I just programmed my little heart out :) So in short unless 7.6.04 SP5 added the ability to work with a Deplayable app in something other than Base mode you will be working in Base and not be following Best Practice :-P Jason On Thu, Oct 10, 2013 at 10:54 AM, Kemes, Lisa A DLA CTR INFORMATION OPERATIONS <[email protected]> wrote: > Sorry, to be more clear, you can't overlay deployable apps.
