This made the Digg front page news.

A good tactic for increasing page load times.

Access Denied for User 'MOSS\crawlUser'. Securable MethodInstancewith Name 'TableIDEnumeratorInstance' has ACL that contains: User 'MOSS\administrator' with Rights 'Execute, Edit, SetPermissions, UseInBusinessDataInLists, SelectableInClients'

or

The parameter is incorrect. (Access denied by BDC.)

If you get either of the error message above trying to crawl the BDC, the error could possibly be caused by the crawl account not having access to the BDC application defintion; i.e. the crawl account is not on the access control list for the BDC. If that is the case the work around is to give the crawl account Edit, Execute, Select and Set permissions to the BDC on the application definition permissions page

i.e. Central Administration -> Shared Services Provider -> View Applications (Under Business Data Catalog) -> Application Definition -> Manage Permissions ).

In anycase follow Sahils instructions as he outlines how to go about search enabling your BDC application defintion, which serves as a checklist which you could verify against your configuration.

Update

Also when importing the application definition, make sure permissions is unchecked unless you have some custom ACLs defined in the application definition.

Also make sure the Crawl account has execute rights to the SSP

Something thats new to anyone comming from SPS03 or WSS 02 is the logging in MOSS/WSS3.

In MOSS/WSS3 SharePoint does some good logging and the log files are stored in "%commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\logs"

The Kid (Vincent Rothwell) has a post on how to create floating toolpanes in SharePoint.

Lot of good content on his blog. Another SharePoint blog worthy of aggregating.

Continuing the YASQ series but now updated for MOSS let me introduce my contribution to Yet Another MOSS Quirk (YAMQ).

I was trying to enable Windows SharePoint Search Service on a MOSS Server, on the configuration page I kept entering the required user accounts as just "UserName", and the configuration kept failing. I tried this over and over, and checkign the username, password, secuirty permissions etc. with no luck. The logs provided no help either.

How do you get around it, you need to enter the user accounts as "Domain\UserName" instead of just "UserName".

Isnt this just a super concept.
