We have configured BCS search in SharePoint 2016. We have got "Error while crawling LOB contents" while crawling BCS content source in search service application.
**Error**
Error while crawling LOB contents. ( Error caused by exception: System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException An error occurred. Administrators, see the server log for more information.; SearchID = 06BC52B9-5CE6-4AD8-82F4-D86E1EB22DE3 )
We have checked in ULS log, found below exception
