Importing the application definition file

After the BlueCielo Web Service server has been added to the application definition file as described in Specifying the BlueCielo Web Service server, you must import the file into the BDC to make the information available.

To import the application definition file to the BDC:

  1. Open SharePoint Central Administration.
  2. In the left pane, click the name of the Shared Services Provider that you want to configure (for example, SharedServices1).
  3. In the Business Data Catalog group, click Import application definition. The Import Application Definition page appears.
  4. In the Import Application Definition page, browse to the ApplicationDefinition.xml file that you edited in Specifying the BlueCielo Web Service server, choose the Model file type, and then click Import.

    Note    The imported file defines a default action that is used as the hyperlink in search results. This causes a warning message to appear after import is completed, Could not create profile page for Entity Item. The error is: Default action exists for application... Profile page creation skipped. The warning may be safely ignored by clicking OK.
