We’ve been using Account Customization packages for our code for a few years. We’re at the point where we are looking at trying to ‘convert’ our existing packages to Suite App(s) to be able to lock code down and not leak IP. We’ve spoken with support a few times, with varying success. We have a couple of issues: 1. It’s hard to get a ‘fresh’ netsuite environment to test deployments 2. We struggle with deploying custom segments to ANY environment and it generally involves hand-creating them through netsuite 3. We have years of existing js/custom fields/record types Has anyone done a conversion from AC packages to SuiteApps recently that we could consult with?

You need to be a SuiteCloud Development Network (SDN) partner. This can help you get NetSuite environment.
j
Yep, I believe that we are. We are a netsuite VAR- and we’ve spoken to a couple of folks who’s titles are SDN Solutions Engineer. One was very helpful, but (hesitantly) recommend that we perform some browser automation to update all of our existing appid records (via “change id”). He remains anonymous as this is probably frowned upon.

What's a VAR?
Are you paying $3000 annually to NetSuite? If not, then you are not an SDN partner (yet).
j
Value Added Reseller. Yes. I just don’t write the checks, so I don’t know how much we’re paying.
n
Then you are not an SDN Partner. May be being VAR gives you same privileges as SDN Partner or may be not. You need to discuss this with a NetSuite rep.

Sorry Nick, but we have. Now I’m trying to reach out to the community to see if anyone else has tried to do this.

If you do, then #1 should not be an issue.

I’m sure everyone’s experience is different here, I’m not the person responsible for interacting with our account rep. But thanks for the response, regardless.
