Hi,
I could not create an external content type in SharePoint designer. I want to fetch my SQL Server table into SP list. Here's my Previous Post on the same topic w/o any success.
I m not sure if my BCS is corrupt altogether but want to test out every possibilities before I decide on anything.
When I click on External Content type from SPD, it says "The Business Data Connectivity Metadata Store is currently unavailable”
On central Admin-->Manage services on the server link-->Business Data Connectivity Service service has a status of Started, Managed metadata Web service also has a status of started.
On Central Admin-->Manage service Applications--> BDCS has status of Started. However when I click on anyone of the links below, I get error message(next screen)
I set customErrors mode="Off" still the same error. No change.
I used fiddler and it shows Error code 504 for the Url /_vti_bin/BDCAdminService.svc
Moreover, I went to IIS, tried to run the BDC service https and https, links below, I get error Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

https://localhost:32844/db14041584e143a0b499761087d1d886
I m clueless on where to explore and what settings to look for to make it work. any help is greatly appreciated. I really want to make BCS work. Thanks all!
