Tools for Generating MOSS BDC Application Definition files.
I have been using BDC Meta Man since last year, it is a great tool but their trial version doesn’t support Web Services (I prefer web services rather letting MOSS talking to SQL Server directly).
Recently I stumpled upon another interesting tool MOSS BDC Design Studio their trial version (15 days) lets you create application definition files for both Web Services & SQL Server. Though little buggy (esp. if you have multiple entities in your definition) it is really very handy. MOSS BDC Design Studio coupled with XML Notepad 2007 Design made my job easy.
After a long time Microsoft has released their Business Data Catalog Definition Editor, though I didn’t get a chance to test drive, I hope I will be able to edit my existing Definition files with this tool.
