SharePoint Business Data List Connector 7.2 released

Released: Apr 1, 2016

Updates in this release

Updates in 7.2

The following bugs were fixed:

  • Primary key field name over 255 characters leads to SP error 'Invalid text value'
  • Instead of the signed in user, updates were labeled with the system or SharePoint service account for Modified by/Created By.
  • Connections in SharePoint 2013 using ODBC need local administration permissions. All ODBC connections are running now under the given web application pool account, which needs to be given local admin permissions.
  • Unspecified Error when validating Excel/Access OLEDB connection as normal user account. All OLEDB connections are running now under the given web application pool account, which needs to be given local admin permissions.
  • Updating with BDLC into SharePoint lists with content approval caused errors like "item is deleted by another user" when the items are still pending during the synchronization. Now BDLC will approve these items just before updating, afterwards they are in pending state again.
  • In very few cases the date time picker control couldnt load properly when the logged in user has no permissions to the root web.
