Once you have chosen your external data source, simply drag the table to the design surface and begin to configure your external content type. Select your Finder, Specific Finder, ID Enumerator, Creator, Updater and Deleter methods, click generate, and you’re done!

Associations enable you to show your external data using Business Data Lists and Business Data Related List web parts. Your data relationships can also be shown in profile pages and also BDC item picker dialog boxes.

Simply drag the association between the two external content types.

In addition, create filters, methods and custom actions in just a few clicks.

There are five methods that can be created within an External Content Type. The Finder method and Specific Finder methods are required by BCS to allow data to be displayed within the web parts and external lists. In order to select a row, the specific finder method is called. Optionally, using the BCS Connector, you can build the Creator, Updater and Deleter methods which will in turn provide you with the ability to write back to SAP via a SharePoint external list.
