Quondam etiam innectis BDC per manum ADF files (iniquitatem meam, ut "salvum me PRATUM!" cred) et ledo hoc laetificum errore:

"Application definition import failed. Sequens erroris inciderat:"

Ut potest, illic 'an erroris, sed … quid dicturus est turpis.

In meam, 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, sed defecit ad update <LobSystem>’s Type attribute. I switched it to "WebService" et ad beate moveri newer et magis excitando momento errores, quae tractanda sunt in ordine suo.

Hic est iniuriam 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">

Hoc est rectam:

<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"
