NetSuite
Introducing the COZYROC SSIS+ library with support for integration and migration of NetSuite data. The NetSuite components are third-party plug-ins for Microsoft SSIS. Available on the market since 2012, COZYROC makes it easy to integrate or migrate data to and from NetSuite and will preserve the integrity of your data by always using the recommended SuiteTalk web services API. You can use any application, service or database supported by SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) or COZYROC’s toolkit as the source or destination for NetSuite data. The toolkit is easy to use and follows the same guidelines and principles used by the standard out-of-the-box SSIS components.
The NetSuite integration package consists of four parts:
- NetSuite Connection Manager
- Stores the credentials and functionality for connecting to the NetSuite service.
- Well documented API for use by user-defined scripts.
- NetSuite Source component
- Retrieves data from a NetSuite record.
- SearchXML criteria may be used to selectively retrieve records.
- Handles composite records by setting up one output for the main records and a separate output for the related composite records.
- The Record and the SearchXML criteria can be modified at runtime using variables and an expression.
- NetSuite Destination component
- Writes data to NetSuite records.
- Supports four actions on Objects: Create, Update, Delete or Upsert.
- Provides information about records with errors as well as the record identifier for records that were added, updated or deleted.
- The component can load composite records into the NetSuite service.
- Reusable scripts
- Unique technology which allows user-defined reusable scripts for additional NetSuite integration scenarios.
Overview
NetSuite Connection Manager is SSIS Connection Manager for establishing NetSuite connections. Use the API to build components based on NetSuite Connection Manager.

Overview
NetSuite Source Component is SSIS Data Flow Component for consuming data from NetSuite Service. The configuration parameters are provided in the standard data flow source component dialog. A separate output is setup for the main record and each related composite record.
Demonstration
Parameters
Configuration
Use the parameters below to configure the component.
Select an existing NetSuite connection manager.

Specify the number of rows to be retrieved as a batch. Default is 0. If set to 0, the page size defined in NetSuite search preferences will be used.
Specify input type. This property has the options listed in the following table.
Value Description Record Input type is NetSuite record or composite object. Selecting this value displays the dynamic options Record. SearchXML Input type is search statement. Selecting this value display the dynamic options SearchXML. After input change, you have to use Refresh command in the 'Column Mappings' tab to reload source object metadata.Select NetSuite record or composite object.
Specify NetSuite search record statement. The statement should be the same XML format used in NetSuite search method. For example to retrieve all account records containing the keyword "Drawing" in account's name, use the following statement:
<AccountSearchBasic> <name operator="contains"> <searchValue>Drawing</searchValue> </name> </AccountSearchBasic>
FAQ
The composite record output contains not only fields from the composite record, but also the parent records. The output will be populated with sets of rows, one set for each parent record. Each set of rows is separated with blank row (all NULLs).
The source record or statement are available in the data flow properties list. Follow these steps to setup expression:
- Right-click on data flow canvas and select Properties menu.
- Scroll-down and find property named like [NetSuite Source].[SearchXML]. This is the property containing the record statement.
- Scroll-down and find Expressions property. Setup expression to modify the record statement dynamically.
The sales order is found under the general transactions record. You have to specify SearchXml statement to retrieve them. For sales order specifically try the following statement:
<TransactionSearchBasic> <type operator="anyOf"> <searchValue>_salesOrder</searchValue> </type> </TransactionSearchBasic>
What's New
