Remarks

This type is used to track whether the service exists in a farm, and answers what services are installed and available in the farm.

The BdcServiceApplication is an instantiation of a BdcService to provide functionality to a Web application. The BdcService is conceptually a process that runs to back the BdcServiceApplication; if the BdcService is stopped, the BdcServiceApplication will not be responsive. Whether the BdcService is running on a particular computer determines whether that computer can do work to service Business Data Connectivity (BDC) service requests to the farm.
