Features

Authentication for RESTlet calls - Users were not able to make RESTlet calls using the Request Level Token Based authentication. This now works.

Fixed Issues

Get Deleted Records processor "type" field - The Get Deleted Records processor had the "type" parameter marked as mandatory. Since the API allows it to be optional, this was corrected.

Fixed Issues

  • The add-record value with recordType=ITEM_FULFILLMENT. In version 7.5.1 when trying to use add-record with recordType=ITEM_FULFILLMENT and item fulfillment record included package, the connector threw a java.lang.NoSuchFieldException: package error. Currently, it’s working as expected.

  • The connector didn’t parse CustomFieldList. In former versions the connector didn’t parse CustomFieldList, so it wasn’t included into the SOAP request to Netsuite, when the name was different than customFieldList. Now it works as expected.

7.4.2

June 1, 2017

Compatibility

Software Version

Mule

3.5.0 and later Mule 3 versions

API

SuiteTalk 2016.2

Features

  • Dynamic discovery of URLs - NetSuite domains can change because accounts are hosted in multiple data centers. For this reason, NetSuite suggests to dynamically resolve the domain URLs for Web Services and RESTlet. In the previous version of the connector, the user had to either explicitly define the URLs for the endpoints or use the default values. The current version implements the logic to fetch these URLs in a dynamic fashion. Still, a user can optionally declare them in the connector configuration.

  • Parameter "Internal ID" wrongly defines a default value - Operation "Get Record" takes the parameters "Internal ID" and "External ID", which are both optional (though at least one of them must be provided). The previous version of the connector, however, defined #[payload] as the default value for the "Internal ID", enforcing the user to either remove the payload or use #[null]. In the current version, the default value is no longer present.

7.4.1

April 28, 2017

Compatibility

Software Version

Mule

3.5.0 and later Mule 3 versions

API

SuiteTalk 2016.2

Fixed Issues

Update Record request with missing attributes - When the payload for the Update Record operation had the replaceAll flag set, it was not being properly mapped to the web service request. Now this, alongside with other boolean values, will be mapped correctly.

7.4.0

December 22, 2016

Compatibility

Software Version

Mule

3.5.0 and later Mule 3 versions

API

SuiteTalk 2016.2

Features

Support for SuiteTalk API version 2016.2 - No new web services. For a detailed list of changes, log into NetSuite, open Help Center and navigate to New Release > Release Notes > NetSuite 2016.2 Release Notes > SuiteTalk (Web Services) Integration.

Fixed Issues

  • Custom fields were not being properly mapped in search results.

  • RESTlet calls used to fail when the response was a JSON array.

Migrate from Older Versions

  • GET, PUT and POST RESTlet calls now always return a list. If the RESTlet returned a single JSON object, it will now be wrapped inside a single element list. If the response was a JSON array, the connector returns a list containing all of its elements.

  • From 2016.2 endpoint, the value of externalId is returned as an external attribute. In 2016.1 and earlier endpoint, the value of externalId is returned as an internalId attribute. You can find more information from NetSuite 2016.2 Release Notes (NetSuite login required)

Migrate from Older Versions

Changes have been made to metadata thus, when upgrading to NetSuite Connector 7.0.0, reload metadata during design time.

This release uses SuiteTalk API version 2015.2 in which NetSuite introduced a new concept called "Integration Record". This requires the use of an application Id. Hence all three connection strategy configurations now have a new parameter called applicationId. The Integration Record containing an application Id can be set up from within your NetSuite environment by navigating to Setup > Integration > Manage Integrations. The global elements will now look as follows:

New Global Configurations (from version 7.0.0):

<netsuite:config-login-authentication name="NetSuite" email="${email}" password="${password}" account="${account}" roleId="${roleId}" applicationId="${applicationId}" />

<netsuite:config-request-level-authentication name="NetSuite" email="${email}" password="${password}" account="${account}" roleId="${roleId}" applicationId="${applicationId}" />

<netsuite:config-sso-login-authentication name="NetSuite" email="${email}" password="${password}" account="${account}" roleId="${roleId}" applicationId="${applicationId}" />

Configuration for getRecord and getCustomRecord has slightly changed due to the DataSense introduction. Also, the @Default is now set on the internalId with a default value of #[payload].

Configuration prior to 7.0.0:

<netsuite:get-record config-ref="">
	<netsuite:record-ref internalId="" externalId="" type="" />
</netsuite:get-record>

New configuration (from version 7.0.0):

<netsuite:get-record config-ref="" internalId="" externalId="" type="" />

Due to the addition of pagination to search we have removed the now redundant processors searchNext, searchMore and searchMoreWithId.

Furthermore, we would like to unify search functionality under just one processor and we feel that with the improvements made so far and the growing use of DataWeave, search should be the go-to operation. Moreover, searchWithExpression and query operations are limited when it comes to certain complexities. Hence we have decided to remove the processors searchWithExpression, queryAsNativeResult and queryRecords.

A search now returns the whole set of results rather than just the first page. This is will be retrieved in the form of a List of Maps that represent all the records found that match your criteria. A new parameter fetchSize can be set to control the page size used by pagination support.

Here is an example of how the configuration for search will look:

<netsuite:search config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" searchRecord="EMPLOYEE_BASIC" criteria-ref="#[payload]" fetchSize="5" />

Here are some examples if you are switching from searchWithExpression or query. The criteria for search can easily be constructed using DataWeave, generating the script for you and requiring you only to fill in the values (you can also use a Java component or DataMapper should you prefer).

  • searchWithExpression to search:

    <netsuite:search-with-expression config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" searchRecord="EMPLOYEE_BASIC" expression="is(email, '#[map-payload:email]'), contains(address, '#[map-payload:address]')"/>
    <dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message">
	<dw:set-payload><![CDATA[%dw 1.0
%output application/java
---
{
	email: {
		operator: "IS",
		searchValue: payload.email
	} as :object {
		class : "com.netsuite.webservices.platform.core.SearchStringField"
	}
	address: {
		operator: "CONTAINS",
		searchValue: payload.address
	} as :object {
		class : "com.netsuite.webservices.platform.core.SearchStringField"
	}
} as :object {
	class : "com.netsuite.webservices.platform.common.EmployeeSearchBasic"
}]]></dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>
<netsuite:search config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" searchRecord="EMPLOYEE_BASIC" fetchSize="50" doc:name="NetSuite"/>

  • query to search:

    <netsuite:query-records config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" query="dsql:SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE firstName=#[message.inboundProperties.'http.query.params'.firstName]" fetchSize="50" doc:name="Query EMPLOYEE record"/>
    <dw:transform-message doc:name="Transform Message">
	<dw:set-payload><![CDATA[%dw 1.0
%output application/java
---
{
	firstName: {
		operator: "IS",
		searchValue: inboundProperties.'http.query.params'.firstName
	} as :object {
		class : "com.netsuite.webservices.platform.core.SearchStringField"
	}
} as :object {
	class : "com.netsuite.webservices.platform.common.EmployeeSearchBasic"
}]]></dw:set-payload>
</dw:transform-message>
<netsuite:search config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" searchRecord="EMPLOYEE_BASIC" fetchSize="50" doc:name="NetSuite"/>

    Finally, getDeletedRecords has also been reworked. This operation now expects a SearchDateField on the payload as its @Default value, together with a pageIndex and type as before. The SearchDateField can also be manually defined. Here are some examples:

<netsuite:get-deleted-records config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" type="ACCOUNT">
    <netsuite:deleted-date ref="#[payload]"/>
</netsuite:get-deleted-records>

<netsuite:get-deleted-records config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" type="EMPLOYEE">
    <netsuite:deleted-date operator="ON" searchValue="#[java.util.Calendar calendar = new GregorianCalendar(); calendar.set(2015, 10, 01); return calendar;]"/>
</netsuite:get-deleted-records>

<netsuite:get-deleted-records config-ref="NetSuite__Login_Authentication" type="CUSTOMER" doc:name="NetSuite">
    <netsuite:deleted-date operator="BEFORE" predefinedSearchValue="THIS_MONTH"/>
</netsuite:get-deleted-records>
