Business data conectivity metada store is currently unavailable

Hi All,
I am getting below mentioned error when i am trying to open "External content types" tab in sharepoint designer.
I have tried all the possible solution mentioned below.
Business Data Connectivity Service and Managed Metadata web service are running.
I have cleared SharePoint designer Cache.
I am admin on sharepoint server and currently using Sharepoint server 2013 and my OS version where I am running Sharepoint designer is Windows 8.1

Hi,
For this issue, I recommend to check the things below:
You have already checked that both Business Data Connectivity Service and Managed Metadata web service are running, then please make sure that the services have been associated with the web application where the site you open in SharePoint Designer exists.
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/UploadFile/anavijai/the-business-data-connectivity-metadata-store-is-currently-u/
Set the metadata store permissions and object data permissions on
Business Data Connectivity Service.

If above cannot work, use fiddler to trace the error.

Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store is currently unavailable for users but not administrator

Hello,
We have a SharePoint 2013 Enterprise Multi Tenant deployment. Our customers Site Collection Administrators can not create external content types in SharePoint Designer 2013.
When clicking on "External Content Types" in the menu they are getting the message "The Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store is currently unavailable." but users are still able to click on "External Content Type" in the "New"
section of the ribbon. However, when doing that the are getting throwed another error message: "The remote server returned an error: (401) Unauthorized."
When logged in as the Active Directory Administrator via SharePoint Designer on one of the Site Collections everything works as it should.
It seems that there is some permissions missing but I can not figure out how to set this properly for the site users. I have tried to add users as administrators at both the Managed Metadata Store Applications and the Business Data Connectivity Application
with no result. I have also added the users with permissions on the Managed Metadata Store via the Tenant Administration panel for each site.
I would need this to work, and when it works I need to set the required permissions programatically via Powershell when provisioning sites and users.

Connecting to Sharepoint Online Access Web Tables - error - The business data connectivity metadata sore is currently unavailable

I have a SharePoint Online E3 site kbhp2-public.SharePoint dot com on which I have created an Access Web App. Now, I need to use an External Content Type to access the underlying database tables, which I understand to be stored somewhere
in Azure. The ID of the server is bxh1ixb9lo.database.windows.net and the ID of the database is db_9857fa7d_4bf1_4558_be8c_24543b041e2.
I have done the following so far:
Set Metadata Store Permissions
Created Secure Store credentials Mapping
But when I opened the SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer and clicked on External Content Types, I get the Message:
The business data connectivity metadata store is currently unavailable.
Any guidance you can give me will be greatly appreciated
Steve

Hi Steve,
It is Windows Azure SQL Database forum. Your question is more related to SharePoint Online.
Please post the question in the Office 365 or online services forum. It is appropriate and more experts will assist.

Business Data Connectivity Store is currently unavailable

Hello,
A couple of months ago i started a thread regarding Business Data Connectivity Store and that our tenants could not manage External Content Types via SharePoint Designer. I cannot reply to this thread anymore, so Im starting a new since the issue is still present.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/dbbfa362-d756-478d-87c8-4ee5831d5827/business-data-connectivity-metadata-store-is-currently-unavailable-for-users-but-not-administrator?forum=sharepointcustomization#dbbfa362-d756-478d-87c8-4ee5831d5827
A few updates:
- Were having a multi tenant setup of SharePoint 2013 so the Business Connectivity Data Service is partitioned and the permissions is managed by each site collection administrator at the the Tenant Administration site (usually located at <site-url>/admin/).
- The Active Directory administrator can log in to each site via SharePoint Designer (SPD) and manage external content types so there is nothing wrong with the version of SPD or bindings for the site collections. We are using SNI for SSL certificates on a single
IP but this is not a problem.
- We have logged on to the Tenant Administration site with for a tenant site collection and added users to the Metadata Store so now we can manually import a BDC Model to the site, but we are still not able to use SPD to manage this. Our tenants demand this
to work.
How can we get further with this issue?

Hi Anders,
Based on your description, I recommend to verify the things below:
1. Make sure that the users are added to the Set Metadata Store Permissions.
2. Clear SharePoint Designer cache and then check the results.

I am getting error message that says "the iTunes store is currently unavailable......how do I fix this?

I keep getting iTunes store is currently unavailable when I try to view my purchased content on my apple tv 2. How can I fix this?

I just saw the date of the original post and so this doesn't help them...but anyone doing searches as I did for help...hopefully this will help you.
I posted this in another thread, but sounds like you have the same problem I have. I can watch youtube, and even trailers, but I cannot watch any of my purchased movies and I can't rent movies either. It originally started after my 5.1 update and sporadically I would get the error in loading content...now I get an iTunes connection error as well.
So, I finally decided to pay 20 bones for support to find out what is wrong. Apple support confirmed there is a "number of people" having this issue and he thought there would be an update soon since they have been working on the problem for a couple of weeks. And he told me they wouldn't charge me for the call.
A little frustrating.

"iTunes store is currently unavailable" for 1 show

My AppleTV2 (completely up to date) is stating "The iTunes store is currently unavailable. Try again later"---but only when I try to access one particular show. It connects perfectly fine for every other show. The show is still in the itunes library. I have restarted. Any idea how to resolve this?

Interesting. In geekgirl1975's case I assumed she (?) was trying to play the shows from the "cloud" (Apple's servers), the second column in the AppleTV's menu ("TV Shows", "Purchased"). But in your case you are trying to play them from the library on your computer (the fifth column in the AppleTV's menu, "Computers"), right? Hmmm. And the episodes which won't play on the AppleTV do play in iTunes?
The first thing to try is rebooting the AppleTV. Press and hold the Down and Menu buttons on the remote until the status light on the AppleTV blinks rapidly. Once the main menu appears you'll have to wait a bit longer before it will respond to the remote control (still booting).
If that doesn't solve the problem, it suggests the AppleTV uses a different verification mechanism than iTunes on the computer (otherwise why would the computer be able to play all the shows while the AppleTV can play only some of them?). I have an insane suggestion which probably won't work but it's worth a shot just for the sake of experimentation: try turning off "Send data to Apple" in the AppleTV settings menu (unless you already have it turned off). Don't get your hopes up. Probably pointless and irrelevant.

I'm getting messages that Netflix and the iTunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. also, my iTunes account works fine on my Mac, just not on the Apple TV.

I'm getting messages on Apple TV that netflix and the itunes store are currently unavailable. This can't be a coincidence. Also, the iTunes store is working fine on my Mac, the message is only on the apple TV. Does anyone come across this frequently?

1. An explanation for what? There is indeed a support number (which you can find on this page in "Contact Us" and you are limited to one support call in the first 90 days and if you have the AppleCare you have more than that available, so I'm not sure what you are whinning about (and it is whinning, trust me).
2. http://www.kelleytown.com/ikelleytown.htm#firewire
However, since I wrote that I've also found this link pretty well explaining why firewire is the only way to go as well (it's about video but the same principles apply to the iPod:
http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1847886895
3. Your computer is constantly changing whether you know it or not. Do you not apply any MS upgrades (or have them automatically applied for you?) Do you not have any antivirus on your machine (which applies its own upgrades)? Do you not, ever, ever, ever, open any email message, or download that cute little movie your friend sent you, or plug in any other device (like a digital camera or flashcard reader) or any of the other hundreds of things that change the computer environment.
It would be tempting to conclude a priori that the update you applied is now the problem, but if so, how do you explain the millions of others who apply the update without issues? The difference is in the software and settings on the witches brew that is a PC. So in a sense you are right in that the old firmware worked with the mess that is your computer and now the new one doesn't -- but it ain't up to Apple to fix your computer, and impossible for them to control the environment (oh, I guess unless you buy a Mac -- "coincidentally" Mac's use firewire for the iPod :>)
I dunno -- when 90% of all issues (100% of all connection issues) can be solved with the Adaptec 4300 I tend to have a lot less patience with folks. If you want to use the mess that is USB then you'll just have to deal with the fact that MS screwed it up big time and become more knowledgable on how to handle the problems.

Itunes store is currently unavailable

My 3rd generation apple tv will play every purchased tv show I have except one series. When I click on it, I get "itunes store is currently unavailable. try again later." If I select it from my computer via home sharing, it plays no problem. Apple TV is playing all the other shows so the store is obviously available. Anybody have this issue and know how to fix it?

According to Apple, the servers in the US were overloaded at the time of the iPhone launch. Because it was done through iTunes, I think there was something to do with the servers. Maybe the hype is where you are now

The iTunes Store is currently unavailable

Just started having this issues on my 2nd Gen Apple TV since I bought South Park Season 10. Since then everytime I try to watch an episode of series (I own several seasons) I get the message "The iTunes Store is currently unavailable". I'm able to watch other TV Shows I bought like Top Gear I just get this message if I try to watch South Park. Any ideas?
I've already completely restored my Apple TV and manually re-entered all my setting without any change, still have the error.

I don't have a solution to the error message, but I do have a work around. You can access the episodes by performing a search for South Park. Find the episodes that you purchased and you should be able to stream from there. Add the season to your Favorites for easier access in the future.

Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store

I am trying to connect to an external data source (web service) that is hosted on another server through SharePoint designer.
I go to the external content type section->new content type-> External system "click here to discover external data sources and define operations"
Add connection->data source type ="wcf service"
enter url in the "service metadata url" and "service endpoint url"
Try to connect. While trying to connect, it gives me this error
"Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store"
error details: "The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error. For more information about the error, either turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults(either from ServiceBehaviorAttribute or from the <serviceDebug> configuration
behavior) on the service in order to send the exception information back to the client, or turn on tracing as per the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 SDK documentation and inspect the server trace logs."
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.
This solution with New-SPTrustedRootAuthority helped me in the following situation (which is like the one in the topic):
I have a WCF service hosted on the SharePoint web site with dynamic binding. SharePoint web site is configured with host header (DNS alias) and SSL. Kerberous is enabled (this config does not work with NTLM only). I use Secure Store Service identity (Windows
type) when configuring BSC connection to the service. When I try to connect to this WCF service from SharePoint Designer to create an external content type, I get this errror: "Cannot connect to Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store".
These two steps resolved the issue:
1) Add SSL certificate of the web site where WCF service is hosted to the "Trusted Root Certification Authorities" of "Certificates (Local Computer)"
2) Run the following command in SharePoint PowerShell console:
foreach ($cert in (Get-ChildItem cert:\LocalMachine\Root)) { if (!$cert.HasPrivateKey) {New-SPTrustedRootAuthority -Name $cert.Thumbprint -Certificate $cert } }

ITunes store is currently unavailable only for most recently purchased content

I have a new issue: when attempting to access the three most recent TV series that I purchased, I get the error, "iTunes store is currently unavailable. Please try again later." This has been occurring consistently for the last three days, even after completely resetting the Apple TV and re-logging into my iTunes account. I can access newest series on my iPad and iTunes but Apple TV will not play them, only give me the error. It will, however, play anything I purchased prior to the three most recent purchases. Maddening!

I've been experiencing the same problem for the last several days. When clicking on certain TV shows (not specifically most recently purchased) through the purchased tab it goes straight to this error. The workaround by searching for the show works fine but is still a pain in the arse.
It's really annoying when you try and do the right thing by paying for content (often far more expensive than even physical mediums that aren't DRM'd up the wazoo) and we can't even watch it because of server problems.
Possibly more annoying is how crummy Apple service has become. I called to report the problem, they tell me to fill out a webform, they respond telling me to call. Seriously? Just fix your **** servers.

I can access youtube and movie trailers. My location setting is set as United States - I don't know if there is another "store region" setting. I signed in & out & in again using my apple ID & password - all that works fine.

After I upgraded to Mavericks I was also having this message when I tried to update. There was a previous post about this problem which offered this simple solution which worked for me:

Got it! Thanx. What I did was go to my account, check that they had my new ID and Password which they did, then hit reset button. All fixed.

My AppleTV won't let me view any of the French films I want to see tonight. It'll let me view and watch the previews for everything else, but just not French films, eg "Mes Amis, Mes Amours," "Odette Toulemonde" or "La Maison du Bonheur" --what's up with that? Does Apple have something against films?
I've tried restarting my AppleTV and also went to settings and did a full reset, which required me to reenter my network and info. But still has the same problem. I can go and view any other films, just not those ones... really weird, and disappointing.

I restarted and reset the device; still couldn't access my TV purchases. According to other post in this community the problem is with Apple's server. A work around is to go to iTunes, search for the show and play it from there. It recognizes it as a perviously purchased show. Wish Apple would fix the issue.

Music Store currently Unavailable

I was trying to purchase music through my shopping cart in iTunes. When a new display was shown saying,"The iTunes Music Store is currently Unavailable. Please check back later." I was just wondering if anyone knew how long it usually is that it stays unavailable.

I apologize for my impatience. I guess I should have just waited a little longer, it's back to normal.
