Date in External Content Type 1 hour later than MSSQL date

I have an MSSQL table with a date column. I have created an external content type which pulls data from from this MSSQL table. But when the content type is shown in a list in Sharepoint 2010 site, the date is 1 hour later than the date from the MSSQL table?
This is my MSSQL dates:
This is my SP 2010 dates:

I'm going to guess that this has to do with server time and sharepoint time. SharePoint time can be found under regional settings. Check to see that it's consistent with the time zone of your other server.

  • Creating a external content type for Read and Update data from two tables in sqlserver using sharepoint designer

    Hi
    how to create a external content type for  Read and Update data from two tables in  sqlserver using sharepoint designer 2010
    i created a bcs service using centraladministration site
    i have two tables in sqlserver

    empid firstname deptno location
    and same time update  in two tables
    adil

    When I try to create an external content type based on a view (AdventureWorks2012.vSalesPerson) - I can display the data in an external list.  When I attempt to edit it, I get an error:
    External List fails when attached to a SQL view        
    Sorry, something went wrong
    Failed to update a list item for this external list based on the Entity (External Content Type) 'SalesForce' in EntityNamespace 'http://xxxxxxxx'. Details: The query against the database caused an error.
    I can edit the view in SQL Manager, so it seems strange that it fails.
    Any advice would be greatly GREATLY appreciated.

  • Can't create external content type

    Hi,
    I'm trying to create an ECT in Sharepoint Designer for my Office365 environment. I have an E3 license, so I should be alble to create one. I need it to create an external list from an Azure SQL DB.
    In Sharepoint designer, the button for a new ECT is available, but if I click the button nothing happens. I have an SSS-object with the credentials already.
    I do not know why the button is not reacting. Hope someone knows.

    Make Sure you have done all these steps before you start creating an external content type..
    Prepare SQL Server   A database administrator needs to provide permissions to make sure that that the right people have access to the data and that the data does not end up in the wrong hands. The database administrator must also
    create a SQL Server account that has db_owner permission. The database administrator might also want to create specific tables, views, queries, column aliases, and so on to limit the results to just what is needed and to help improve performance.
    Configure SharePoint services   An administrator must activate Business Connectivity Services (BCS) and the Secure Store Service.
    Configure the Secure Store service   An administrator must determine the best access mode for the external data source, create a target application, and set the credentials for the target application.
    Configure Business Data Connectivity Services   An administrator must make sure that the user who creates the external content type has permission to the Business Data Connectivity (BDC) metadata store and that appropriate users
    have access to the external content type on which the external list is based.
    Be sure Office 2013 is ready to use   To synchronize external data with Office 2013 products, you must use Windows 7 or a later version, and make sure that the Office installation option for Business Connectivity Services (BCS) is
    enabled (this is the default). This option installs the Business Connectivity Services Client Runtime which does the following: caches and synchronizes with external data, maps business data to external content types, displays the external item picker in Office
    products, and runs custom solutions inside Office products. You must also have SQL Server Compact 4.0, .NET Framework 4, and WCF Data Services 5.0 for OData V3 on each client computer (If necessary, you are automatically prompted to download the software).

  • Group by collapsed not working for external content type

    Hi,
    I've got a list that displays data from external content type and I need it to be grouped by a column and have it collapsed by default.
    The problem I have is that on a page by itself everything works fine. But when I add the list on a page with other web parts rendering the list as collapsed doesn't work as expected.
    It will render the group headers correctly and everything is collapsed. But when I expand one of the groups ALL items are shown under that group, even the ones that belong to some other group. I then expand another group and it also shows ALL items. But when
    I set the default to expanded each group header only has the items that belong to it, even if I collapse it and then expand again.
    As I said, having the groups collapsed works fine if the listview is by itself on a web part page, but as soon as I add another web part (doesn't matter what type) it stops working.
    Is this a bug or might there be something I'm doing wrong?

    Hi,
    As this issue is submitted via internal pipeline without external URL can be provided, we will keep focus on it to see if there any update.

  • Meaning of "Map To Identifier " while creating an External Content Type

    In SharePoint 2010 Desginer, I created an External Content Type that retrieves data from a VIEW in SQL Server. In the wizard, I see "Map To Identifier." What is the purpose of that. I want to understand the meaning of Map To Identifier? Thank you.
    Mayank

    Hi Mayank,
    When we create database-based external content type, we could map the data source element to an identifier of the related external content type as input to the association.
    In the Data Source Elements pane on the left side, select the data source element in the list. In the
    Properties pane on the right side, select the Map to Identifier check box. In the
    Identifier list, select the appropriate identifier.
    The database object name is referred to as its identifier. An object identifier is created when the object is defined. The identifier is then used to reference the object.
     http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms175874.aspx
    We map the field of the external content type to the identifier of the external content type.

  • Search for documents using External Data on list content type

    hi,
    say we have clients in an external database, we create the external content type for use in sharepoint 2013
    we create two content types, Quote and Order for use in a library
    we create a document library that uses the above content types
    we then add a column for the external data ( in this case Client Name- but also include ID) , we have the option to copy to content type selected. so now library shows 'Client' and 'Client:ID'
    I believe that column gets added to  list content types based on the 2 document content types.
    so we have list items , which have a document , a content type and a piece of data from the external LOB system.
    now that is fine, works great, however, how do you configure the content search web part to return documents based on the piece of external data - ie client:ID ? or Client Name ?
    I can map the client:ID to one of the Int00 managed properties and crawl etc - but do not see a way to use that to return documents
    any help would be appreciated :)
    thanks
    MrP

    Create a scopr with that in managed properies and then u can get results from  external sources

  • Get "An Error occurred while retrieving data From ProjectWebApp.." when searching content on an External Content Type

    I have set-up an ECT in SPD2013 on SP2013.  It is a SQL Data source called ProjectWebApp.   I have BCS/SSS set-up.  I can create an ECT OK in SPD.  I can add the ECT to a custom list.
    The problem is when I add a new item in the list the following error message appears in red
    An error occurred while retrieving data from ProjectWebApp. Administrators, see the server log for more information
    I cannot filter or return any results.  There is data in the DB.
    Another test I do is to try and create a new App/List using the "External List" template.  When
    I select the ECT a red message appears "External Content Types are not available".  which is odd since I can add an ECT to a list as mentioned above.
    Any ideas?

  • External content type error: Business Data Connectivity object not found.

    Hello
    I have to change the external database (external system) for an external content type. The database view on the new database is exactly the same as on the old database.
    After changing the external system of the external content type, this happens:
    When I try to add a new item to the list, I get this error under the external data field:
    "Business Data Connectivity object not found. Administrators, see the server log for more information."
    Also, when I try to update the external data field, it is not possible because the buttons are grey.
    When I add a new external data field to the same list, I can use the external content type. For some reason the current external data field doesn't update.
    Any ideas?
    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Have you implemented both ‘Read List’ & ‘Read Item’ operations in your ECT?

  • Can I define more than one table in one External Content Type

    Hello,
    I am new to the BCS development using SharePoint Designer 2010.  I tried to create multiple SQL tables by referring to the same External Content Type with no success.  Since the External Content Type shows all my SQL tables in the same database,
    I though it would allow me to create a different list on another table from the same database.  Is this possible?  
    When I tried to use the same External Content Type for the second table, it refers back to the first table identifier unless I create another External Content Type refer to the same database but point to the different table.
    Please advise,
    Brian.
    Brian

    As far as I know you can only use one table per external content type.

  • Not able to crawl all items from External content type

    Hello All,
    "All the records in my external content source are not getting crawled, only 1/3 rd of the data are getting crawled."
    Steps:
    I created "External content type" using sharepoint designer which connects to a SQL Server database.
    Have written a SQL View joining 2 tables, which return 9,00,000 rows when executed using the SQL Server management studio.
    I used the default "Business Data Connectivity Service" and "Search Service Application" and made sure the necessary permissions are set.
    Created a External Content source for the search service application and selected the "Business Data Connectivity Service" -> "Crawl selected External datasource" -> <my external datasource i created in sharepoint designer>
    Issue
    When i ran the full crawl for the first time it crawled "3,49,923" records in 01 hour and 07 seconds. And returned 1 error "Error crawling LOB Contents.(Error caused by exception: System.InvalidOperationException. There is an error in XML
    document...)
    Later i removed the below item from the index and started a full recrawl, this time it crawled "3,49,924" records 1 record extra from my previous crawl
    and no errors were returned.
    Please let me know what could be the issue. It doesn't look like the permission related issues as i am able to crawl the 1/3rd of my total data. Also i am able to search the crawled data. I also set the throtteling limit for the "Business data catalog"
    to -maximum 10000000 -default 1000000 which is less than the data it has to crawl.
    SRIRAM

    Hi ,
    I started the change suggested in the link shared by you, but got stuck at a point,
    The field which i set as identifier in BCS earlier is not having unique values. Total rows returned by the sql view is 899000, but the unique values present in the column that is set as identifier is
    3,49,923, which is equal to the number of rows crawled. - Is this the reason why it didnt crawl all records?
    The table that is used in the sql view has composite key, - Is it possible to have multiple identifier in BCS as well?
    Is it possible to make BCS to ignore the identifier? i mean creating BCS without an identifier column?
    Please let me know your suggestions on this.
    Thanks,
    SRIRAM
    Yes, BCS needs a UID. This is so it can figure out changes over time to a single record. Otherwise all changes to a row could be a potential new row without BCS knowing any better.
    Yes, or just have it run off the composite key instead of the field you're using now.
    Nope, BCS needs a UID field like in answer 1 :)
    Good luck!

  • External Content Type Page Number Filter

    I have a External Content Type set up on a SQL Server view. My problem is when I use the content type as a external column in a SharePoint list the picker returns more than 200 items. I have tried to add the Page Number filter to allow users to page through
    the items but I cannot get it to work. Is there a way to increase the item limit, or can someone explain how to use the Page Number filter on the Read List operation for a external content type?
    Thanks,

    Regarding increasing the limit, there are two parts. The actual BCS limit in SharePoint which can be increased using a PowerShell command (below), and then there is the web part that lets you select the BCS items. Based on a thread for SP2010, 200 is a hard
    limit for the web part, although you will need to test to see if his limit has changed in SP2013.

  • ISO help using SharePoint Designer 2010 to create an External Content Types from a table that has many columns

    I am trying to create an external content type for a specific list. The problem is that there are so many columns (more than 200) that I get the error:
    The operation(s) generation creates an SQL query which exceeds the length limit in Business Data
    Connectivity Metadata Store. The operation(s) will not be generated. Recreate
    the operation(s) with less number of columns in the configuration.
    I tried turning off a dozen columns and I am still getting this error. I am nearing the limit of the "extra" columns I can eliminate.
    What is the actual limit on number of columns?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    From my research, it seems to be the limitation in response TTL and response size. To confirm
    it, would you please check the detailed errors logged in ULS log? <o:p></o:p>

  • SharePoint 2010 Present Wrong Timezone for External List of External Content Type

    External content is hosted on an independent SQL server DB from the SharePoint server. External content lists shows datetime fields 5 hours earlier as opposed to Eastern standard time but Web parts display data correctly.
    Yes, timezones on both servers are correct. Timezones settings in SharePoint have been checked and all appear correct. There are several places for settings. Is there a checklist in case something was missed. Our SharePoint administrator has
    looked for the cause and cannot determine.
    I poured through other blogs and issues with external content and timezone on this site including "External Content Type Saving Dates in UTC".
    Please provide a list for timezone settings such as global settings for a site, collection, external content, SharePoint 2010 designer settings, Central Administration settings, etc.

  • How to read the content from a External Content Type with out creating External List in Sharepoint 2013?

    Hi,
    I have a requirement to read the External Content Type and storing the Data in a Session Variable. The Reading of the content from External Content Type with out creating a External List.
    Please help I am trying to find the solution, but unable to do that.
    Thanks,
    Pradeep

    Hi,
    Firstly an external content type designed to work with SharePoint list and there is no way to read apart from this.
    If you are looking the solution out of the " Business Connectivity" then find that data source has been exposed through WCF and  Web Service ?
    So you can use REST API and CSOM to consume those data in SharePoint.
    You can also leverage the ADO.NET option if the datasources based on MS technologies.
