Duet Enterprise errors with BDC Service when running CheckConfiguration

  • Article

During the configuration of the Duet install on the SharePoint server, you run DuetConfig.exe /CheckConfiguration to verify the configuration health and receive the following error:

“Error: Unable to query Business Data Administrative metadata catalog.  Ensure that the Business Data Connectivity Service is running.”

Cause:

This problem is caused by an incorrect BDCServiceApplicationProxyName entry in the DuetConfig.exe.config file such that it does not match the Business Data Connectivity service name on the SharePoint server:

For example, in this case, the word "Proxy" should not be there.

<SecurityConfiguration>

<CheckMethod BDCServiceApplicationProxyName="Business Data Connectivity Service Proxy" Entity="SAPUsers" EntityNameSpace="SAP.Office.DuetEnterprise.Roles" LobSystemInstance="SAPUsersService"></CheckMethod>

<ConfigurationErrors>

</ConfigurationErrors>

</SecurityConfiguration>

Resolution:

Edit the DuetConfig.exe.config file to accurately reflect the service name on the SharePoint server.
