Required Update of SuiteAnalytics Connect Drivers
All NetSuite accounts are being moved to new NetSuite data centers that are built on the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). Due to this change, the following tasks are required:
-
Windows Server 2012 is no longer supported for SuiteAnalytics Connect. If you are using SuiteAnalytics Connect with Windows Server 2012, you must upgrade to a later version of Windows Server.
-
All users who use SuiteAnalytics Connect must upgrade to the latest ODBC or JDBC driver and change the connection attributes on their computers. The latest ODBC driver version has been available for download since February 25, 2022.
If you do not take these required actions by May 12, 2022, you may experience a delay of up to 30 seconds when you log out of your Connect session.
To download the latest driver version, log in to NetSuite. In the Settings portlet on the Home page, click Set Up SuiteAnalytics Connect.
Before you install or upgrade the Connect driver, ensure that you meet the installation prerequisites. For more information, see Installation Prerequisites.
