@seungjae lee here is the catch, it appears that MS Team has added a deprecation in the BDC Service (This is extracted from Decompiled Microsoft.SharePoint.dll)
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
In SharePoint 2019, after applying KB 5002639 and subsequent updates, deploying BCS solutions is not possible.
Error messages is
DotNetAssembly/WebService system type is not supported.
Error was encountered at or just before Line: '4' and Position: '6'.
Error log: BCS_Deploy_Error.txt
---The problem has been resolved----
Thankyou @Marco Siciliano !!

Hi everyone,
just patched our SharePoint 2016 farm to 16.0.5513.1001 with the July 21 2025 security updates:
Now all External Lists that use a DotNetAssembly BDC model blow up.
ULS spits out:
"
System.InvalidOperationException:
DotNetAssembly/WebService system type is not supported.
Error at Line 4, Position 6
"
Database/OData ECTs are fine — only the .NET ones die.
Based on what I’ve read in this thread and on my own experience, I have to conclude that this patch has re‑introduced the same issue we saw with the previous one.
Hello everyone
Maybe related/same issue here after applying patch KB5002754 and KB5002753 (SharePoint 2019 on-premises):
Error while crawling LOB contents. ( Error caused by exception:
System.InvalidOperationException The Model contains LobSystem (External
System) of Type 'DotNetAssembly' which is not supported.; SearchID =
...-...-...-...-... )
A.
Hello everyone
The Accepted answer is not a solution.
Please check this announcement:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/business-connectivity-services-retirement
It should not impact SharePoint 2016 & 2019 Server (on on-premises).
This feature will remain supported in SharePoint Server 2016 and SharePoint Server 2019 until those products reach their end of support date of July 14, 2026.
Is there anyone who can comment on this?
It is really a problem for us!
Thanks,
Roger
Hi @seungjae lee ,
Welcome to Q&A forum!
I have done a lot of research, but there is not much reference material for your situation. Based on the information you provided, it can be determined that it is caused by an update, but the recent updates do not specify the impact on BCS. You can check if there are any Windows updates that have not been installed, which sometimes has an impact. If it doesn't work, you can try to roll back the update or wait for the next update to see if it can solve the problem. However, the forum engineer has limited authority. If you need to roll back the update, you need to escalate the issue. You need to contact Microsoft directly to operate. The support team over there has the correct escalation channels, and they can devote more resources and investigate the behavior from the backend as quickly as possible. They can also remotely check the behavior on your side. They can even help you find the root cause of the issue. For reference: Global customer service phone numbers. This is the most efficient way to handle this thread given the circumstances. I'm confident that our expert engineers over there can resolve this issue efficiently and accurately.
Good day! Happy New Year to you in advance!
