Sharepoint 2013 - BDC custom content source crawl error

Question

Hi

Our Sharepont 2013 Servers have been hardened to TLS 1.2

We have a custom BDC model/external system and we have as a custom content source which uses the BDC service application and when we crawl this custom content source gives an error below :

Error while crawling LOB contents. ( Error caused by exception: System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.; SearchID = ********************** )

Any help resolving this issue would be helpful
Thank You and stay safe.
Kind Regards

Hi @Zunaid Valley ,

Are there any more detailed error messages in the crawl log?

In addition, here is the article to configure SharePoint Server Search for External Content Types:
