Mimi mara kwa mara nyingine tena kuandika BDC files ADF kwa mkono (so that I can build up my "get off my lawn!" Mimi) na kugonga kosa hili lovely:

"Application definition import failed. makosa yafuatayo ilitokea:"

Kama unaweza kuona, kuna makosa, lakini … si kwenda kuwaambia mimi ni nini.

Katika kesi yangu, the issue turned out that I had started off with a functional ADF for a different project that connected to a database and executed a SQL query against a view. In this new project, I am calling a method on a web service. I had stripped out the DB specific stuff and added my web service stuff, but failed to update the <LobSystem>’s Type attribute. I switched it to "WebService" and I happily moved on to newer and more exciting import errors, which were handled in due course.

Here is the wrong LobSystem:

<LobSystem
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xsi:schemaLocation=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/03/BusinessDataCatalogBDCMetadata.xsd
Type="Database"
Version="1.0.0.0" Name="xyzzy"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/03/BusinessDataCatalog">

This is correct:

<LobSystem
xmlns:xsi=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance
xsi:schemaLocation=http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/03/BusinessDataCatalogBDCMetadata.xsd
Type="WebService"
Version="1.0.0.0" Name="xyzzy"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2006/03/BusinessDataCatalog">
