Problems when trying to return information for External Content Types in Sharepoint 2013

This is my first post on the forum, until I tried on this problem but have not found anything.
When trying to return the information from the external content displays the following error:
Error retrieving data from mill. Administrators: query the server log for more information.
I do not know what else to do...

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got an error when tried to return the information from the external content.
Did the error occur when you created a new external content type or created a external list?
You can check the steps with the following articles about how to create a external content type.

http://wyldesharepoint.blogspot.in/2012/12/sharepoint-2013-setting-up-external.html
If the error occurred with the external list, you can check the steps with the following article.
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2013/archive/2013/01/08/how-to-create-external-data-column-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
You can also check the event log and ULS log to see if anything unexpected occurred.
For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS

Oracle DB as external content type in SharePoint 2013

Hi all,
I'm trying to create and ECT from an Oracle Database in SP 2013. Is it possible to create it with Sharepoint Designer 2013? I had a look at this
article but it creates a DataSource. I am no expert in Sharepoint, but I think that I cannot create a list dynamically updated with Datasources, right? Is it possible through Designer or should I use Visual Studio?
Thanks in advance for your time

No. Here is the snapshot of what SP2013 Designer supports against a site built on SP2013 enterprise
This is exactly the same as what was there in SP2010.
Try out BCS Metaman.
BTW, you only need BCS if you need 2 way bi-direction sync of data between sharepoint and Oracle.
if you just want to read data from oracle, then perhaps just use SSRS.. which will help you connect to oracle and read data into reports.
val it: unit=()
Could you support us with full steps for using SSRS to Read data from Oracle Database ?

BCS External Content Type using Stored Procedure with parameter

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!

SP 2013 ECT - Created an External Content Type in SPD But Not Appearing in BCS

Hello Community,
I have created an External Content Type in SP Designer 2013, and the connection and operations all seem to work fine, but the ECT List throws an access error, and when I check the BCS Service Application the ECT doesn't even appear in the list. Has
anyone else ever seen this kind of problem and if so please brovide guidance and examples for resolving it.
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
Have you created external content type from SharePoint designer 2013 successfully prevously?
And was it displayed in BCS service applicaiton previously?
Have you executed "External Content Type Operations" and saved it back successfully in SharPoint Designer like the following article?
Please check if it is related to the permission issue by using SharePoint Farm Administrator account to create this external content type.
If all above don't solve the issue, please check the ULS log for more information for troubleshooting when create the external content type.

Setting up an External Content Type

Is it possible to set up an External Content Type in SP Designer if the WCF service I'm using only has a method for creating an item in another system? I see that you must create a "Read Item" and "Read List" operation, and when I try
to do so, it doesn't allow me to see the "Finish" button, or it throws a bunch of various errors at the bottom.
I have a WCF service that was not specifically made for BCS. It's designed to simply submit a ticket to a help desk system, with no ability to read from that system. Using custom workflow in SharePoint, I'd like to trigger the WCF service and send a ticket
using data held in a SharePoint list. Any pointers appreciated!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to set up an External Content Type in SharePoint Designer.
Please make sure you create external content type based on a WCF service
correctly.
For more information, you can refer to:

Cannot set up external content type

I'm trying to set up an External Content Type in SharePoint Designer 2013 in my Office 365 SharePoint site.
I have connected to the site (can make changes to all other parts of the site with no problem).
I have set up Metadata Store permissions for me to have full rights to BCS.
When I click on External Content Types, there are none there.
When I click on New External Content Type nothing happens.
Data Service doesn't seem to work either in that I can't seem to connect to my local SQL Server or my SQL Azure. But that might be a different problem.
What am I missing?

Hi,
You said “When I click on New External Content Type nothing happens”, do you mean that the “New External Content Type” button in the ribbon is gray out and not able to click?
Or that button is clickable, however there is no respond when you click it?
What if you use another account with sufficient permission to perform these operations, will it work?
Feel free to reply if the issue still exists.

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.

Hi Benjamin,
Please test the following approach for your issue, exporting the BDC Metadata Model from SharePoint Designer and change the normalization to use local time, and let us know the results.

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>
If you identified the threshold has be reached, you may follow this link to increase
the threshold according to your business requirement.<o:p></o:p>

External Content Typ: "Connection manager did not return valid connection."

Hi,
I created an external content typ in the sharepoint designer which takes my custom WCF Service as a data source. I sucessfully added all my required operations and created a new list based on the new content typ. At first I had a security issue which I got
resolved by editing my BDC configuration in the Central Administration. Now I face a new issue. When I open my external list the BDC Service gives me the following error message:
"Connection manager did not return valid connection."
Has someone a solution for this kind of message?
Thanks,
Eric

Restore SharePoint Database to new server - What to do about external content type?

I currently run SharePoint 2010 and have a content database back-up which I want to restore to a new server.
I was able to restore to a new server and everything seems to be working, except that I have one list in my previous site which had an external content type in it linking to a database for our ERP system. The ERP system's database will also be located on
the new server (same as the new location for the content database). How do I link the external content type from my list to the new location of the ERP database?
One thing which I've tried is to create a new BDC and set up a new external content type within the list. That seems to point to the new location just fine, except that I would have to remap all every single item in the list individually.
Any help would be appreciated.

You will need to modify your BCS Model to reflect the new location of your ERP database. Another option is to use SQL Aliases, which will allow SharePoint to think the new location is still by the old name.
http://mmman.itgroove.net/2012/07/setting-up-a-sql-server-alias-with-sharepoint-server-2010/
This is assuming that you are retiring the old database server.
