I created BDC Model in VS 2012. After I deployed the project I can see ECT in BDC Service in Central Administration. But when I try to create an external content type I can see the external content type in list. It says

The Business Data Connectivity metadata store is unavailable. Check configuration and try again.

Why is this happening?

Added:

Pre-deployment and Post-deployment command line is empty in Project Properties(Sharepoint tab) . Should I write something in it? In Active Deployment Configuration there is Default and No Activision. Mine is Default. Feature1.Template.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Feature xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
</Feature>

Here is the Output:

------ Build started: Project: BDC, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------ C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Microsoft.Common.targets(1578,5): warning MSB3270: There was a mismatch between the processor architecture of the project being built "MSIL" and the processor architecture of the reference "Oracle.DataAccess, Version=4.112.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89b483f429c47342, processorArchitecture=AMD64", "AMD64".

SOLVED

I forgot to describe an Entity. So it can't deployed it.

You have many things to check:

  1. Services are properly configured and running - BDC and Managed metadata
  2. Check if you BDC service app is actually associated with the Web App in which you are trying to use the ECT.
  3. Permissions - go for the easy path - give access to everyone at the Model level and after solving it get back to reality.
  4. Check your ULS Logs - or enable diagnostics prior to checking if not configured already.

  • How can I do step 2? – e.ozmen Apr 25 '13 at 4:58
  • Step 2 is related to both the BDC and Managed Metadata. Under Manage Web Applications select your Web Application, you need to check in the Ribbon something with Service Connections Associations. – Marius Constantinescu - MVP Apr 25 '13 at 6:16
  • BDC and Managed Metadata Web Service is checked. As I see in ULS logs nothing goes wrong. – e.ozmen Apr 25 '13 at 6:27
  • can you see your ECT via SharePoint designer? – Marius Constantinescu - MVP Apr 25 '13 at 6:41
  • No.I can't. but it is still in BDC service. – e.ozmen Apr 25 '13 at 7:01
