New Accounts and Access to the Connect Data Source
As of November 8, 2021, new Connect customers can access the Connect Service using the NetSuite2.com data source only.
If you gained access to the Connect Service before November 8, 2021, all users with access to your NetSuite accounts can still use the NetSuite.com data source. This applies also for users that you added to your NetSuite accounts after this date.
Prior to this change, Connect users were able to access two different data sources:
-
NetSuite.com – This data source uses the only schema available up to 2018.2 to retrieve data. As of October 2021, the NetSuite.com data source is no longer being updated with newly exposed tables and columns, and no enhancements will be made. The NetSuite.com data source includes records exposed up to 2021.2 only, and support for this data source will end in a future release. The use of the NetSuite.com data source is no longer considered a best practice.
-
NetSuite2.com - This data source uses the schema that has been used in SuiteAnalytics Workbook since 2019.2. The NetSuite2.com data source, also known as the analytics data source, is designed to display consistent data across SuiteAnalytics Workbook, which solves some previous inconsistencies in data exposure between saved searches, reports, and the NetSuite UI. The analytics data source provides advanced query capabilities and applies role-based access control, which contributes to improved security. NetSuite2.com is now the preferred data source, and all Connect users are encouraged to use it.
After this change, the transition to NetSuite2.com is planned as follows:
-
If you gained access to the Connect Service before November 8, 2021, you can still access the NetSuite.com data source to ensure a smooth transition to NetSuite2.com. This applies also for users that you added to your NetSuite accounts after this date. For more information, see Changing from NetSuite.com to NetSuite2.com.
-
If you gained access to the Connect Service after November 8, 2021, you can access the NetSuite2.com data source only. If you try to select the NetSuite.com data source, you receive an error message indicating that NetSuite.com is not an option. For more information, see Getting Started with SuiteAnalytics Connect.
