Conversion of a Bundle to an Account Customization Project for SDF

Note:

SuiteBundler is still supported, but it will not be updated with any new features.

To take advantage of new features for packaging and distributing customizations, you can use the Copy to Account and SuiteCloud Development (SDF) features instead of SuiteBundler.

Copy to Account is an administrator tool that you can use to copy custom objects between your accounts. The tool can copy one custom object at a time, including dependencies and data. For more information, see Copy to Account.

SuiteCloud Development Framework is a development framework that you can use to create SuiteApps from an integrated development environment (IDE) on your local computer. For more information, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.

You can retrieve a list of customization bundles from a NetSuite account and import the components into an account customization project type of SuiteCloud project for SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF).

Before you can convert a bundle, you must enable the Create Bundles With SuiteBundler feature in the source NetSuite account. This feature is located under Setup > Company > Setup Tasks > Enable Features.

When converting a bundle, the following types of components cannot be imported:

Folders that are not supported by SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) or that are not in the File Cabinet. For a list of supported folders, see SuiteCloud Project Structure and File Components.
Files that are larger than 50MB.
Hidden files.
Custom record instances.
Locked records.
Records that are not supported by SDF.

For more information about records that are supported by SDF, see Customizations Supported by SuiteCloud Development Framework.

If you import a bundle that contains account components that are not supported by SDF, the log indicates which account components were excluded from the import.

To convert a bundle into account customization project components:

Using SDF CLI, see listbundles and importbundle.
Performing the conversion from the NetSuite account, see Converting a Bundle into an Account Customization Project from a NetSuite Account. Choose this method for converting a large bundle.
