I am building a POC system based on Search in SharePoint 2013. I have setup BCS to crawl external SQL DB. Search crawl is successful and I am getting the results.
I have not setup any Managed Properties to show the external data in the search results, so currently it is showing bdc3:// URLs (Ex: bdc3://amms_amms/default/00000000%252d0000%252d0000%252d0000%252d000000000000/1971/amms/1973?s_id=ibqaaaaaaaaa=&s_ce=07nk0004080g10003o03vvf).
Is it possible to get the BDC data just by using the BDC URL that comes up in search results?
I want to do this to automate data retrieval for external crawled data, other wise I would need to map the managed properties for every table being crawled.
Hi,
If I’m understanding you correctly, you’ll need to setup profile pages for you BCS connection, The following link can help you out http://blogs.msdn.com/b/uksharepoint/archive/2009/12/18/configuring…
