@Binoy Samuel I would think CI would only be possible with SDF. Are you there yet? I don't know that anyone actually has CI fully implemented but a lot of people are working towards it.

I don't see how you could stop them from editing in the UI directly, but I also don't know why any developer would want to do that

I'd say that'd be more of a problem to solve with team standards, training, and expectations than something to restrict within NetSuite

I think if you had a developer edit scripts in the UI, and later if your SDF CI process deployed and overwrote it, that it should be up to the developer to follow your CI processes #quit-yer-cryin #stick-to-the-process

^ this.

that is pretty typical in non-netsuite environments in my experience.

i.e. CI rules deployment, and if you do something outside that you lose next time automation kicks in

I think a more realistic concern is a non-developer admin that would edit workflows / searches / fields in the UI

@jkabot We had a customer when I was at an old company that thought it was a good idea to change field ID’s on quite a few fields. That was chaos.

Within the Netsuite UI, we were able to add a custom transaction line field so that it appears and saves on the purchase requisition item form. However, when pulling a requisition via suitetalk

$netsuite->get()

, it is nowhere to be seen in any of the

purchaseRequisitionItems

in the

itemList

If I take that requisition item and attach it to a Purchase Order, when I pull the PO, the custom field is right there for each of the items in the

itemList

. It doesn't make any sense to me.

how do y'all use the Development accounts that come with Sandboxes (if you do)? so far it's seemed like it's more work and risk to use them (because it's extra effort to keep them in sync with Sandbox/production manually, and if something gets out of sync it could affect your development work to the point where it breaks when you promote it), but I'm wondering if anyone has a workflow that makes sense for their team?

@amy we use a few of ours as sandboxes for integrated application that only need a limited set of customizations. In essence, they are stripped down, bare bones versions of our production environment with just enough customizations to make the integrated application work. Then, they can test and create whatever data they want, without interfering with people doing UAT in the full sandboxes.

Has anyone tried integrating Jira issues into NetSuite using SuiteBuilder and Jira's REST APIs?

I see a handful of bundles are available. Do any of them work?

I've just published a post on a development workflow using NPM, git, and SDF that a dev-ops pipeline is predicated on. It includes a repo with a dockerfile that can be used for continuous delivery or deployment: https://medium.com/tolaeon/using-npm-git-and-the-netsuite-sdf-cli-for-your-dev-workflow-91793c56bfbd

I will be publishing a sample gitlab delivery pipeline in a follow up post in the near future.

What are some tools people are using to monitor NetSuite Performance?

We use the Application Performance Management (APM) bundle for monitoring the performance of customizations within NetSuite

It's not as much of an active monitoring solution (it won't alert you if things slow down), but more of a tool to research what is causing slow performance once you have detected it.

APM is a good tool. If you click the NS logo on your page- it gives you the basics of your performance as well…. fun hack…

Has anyone ever created an Excel spreadsheet in NetSuite with complex header (merged cells, etc).?

I'm also using Mustache.js to create the Excel file in SuiteScript 2.0

Hello everyone, has anyone worked with Report Snapshots components? I need to interact with them for automation purposes but I’m not being able to

When using the SuiteCloud IDE Plugin for WebStorm, it seems to makes sense to me that the files in

.idea/suiteapp

directory should be included in version control as it contains the XML templates for the NS objects. I would imagine these should be shared with other developers on the team when they clone or update their local repo. However, three files I’m unsure whether they should be included are

netsuite.xml

,

netsuite.sign

and

netsuite.pkey

which are all located under the root

.idea

folder. An inspection of the

netsuite.xml

file shows that it contains the Token ID and Secret used for TBA connection to the NetSuite account which should automatically exclude it from repo inclusion. I’m trying to determine if this is standard practice among other devs. I’m also trying to determine how the Master Account Password is affected by this. It’s my understanding that it’s project based. Would another developer need to create their own Master Password when they clone the repo and begin working? What other inclusion/exclusions from the

.idea

folder do I need to consider?

hello, anyone know here how to import data to netsuite from AWS? or from any web services? 🙂

@Nikkoli Castilan not really the right channel for this (#suitescript or #suitetalkapi would be better), but start with the link I posted as a comment to your question on the QA site

thanks Michoel, bit of new here but will check out the channels you mentioned and also the link provided Thanks! 🙂

Whats the best way/tool to Unit test suitescript?

@bputnam NetSuite recommends Karma:

Karma and Jasmine are third-party tools that are not part of NetSuite. For full documentation on these tools, see <https://karma-runner.github.io/2.0/index.html> and <https://jasmine.github.io/>
