Calling for help from the experts…
In the Multi-tenant administration page the link to BDC is missing in a SP 2013 setup.
However one can still navigate to http://youradminsitecollection/_layouts/15/bdc/TA_ViewBDCApplication.aspx to get to the BDC admin page.
However, the moment you click on Set Metadata Store Permission it gives an error:
Does anyone know a fix to this BUG? It is referring to SPODialog.Master file which is an Office 365 Master page file.
I tried to look this file up on a trial account in Office 365 but to no help.
Let me know if anyone has any other ideas to fix this issue…
Here’s how I “solved” this. Disclaimer – this is probably not officially supported though nothing has to be edited.
On the web front ends for the farm I created a new folder (“online”) in 15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS.
Next I copied the dialog.master file (15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\dialog.master) into the new folder (15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\online).
Lastly I renamed the new file (15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\online\dialog.master) to spodialog.master.
Of course I also created a text file in the folder with details about the problem and my contact info as well as updated our centralized documentation so that it won’t cause any issues in the future.
Worked like a charm.
