SuiteApp Bundle Object Dependencies for SuiteCloud Projects

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 define dependencies on bundle objects that are external to your SuiteCloud project in SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF). Dependencies are established by creating object dependencies in the project manifest. These dependencies require a script ID and bundle ID. When you add these dependencies to the project manifest, you can refer to your external bundle objects from object XML definitions in your project. For a valid reference, the object and either the referenced bundle or a version of that bundle must already be installed to the target account.

You can reference a bundle or objects in the bundle that are from a SuiteApp. The object must be one of the SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) supported types. The bundle must be installed or copied to the account where the SuiteApp will be deployed and the target account cannot be source account where the bundle was originally created. You cannot reference files in the bundle

Important:

Renamed bundle script IDs are not supported in SDF.

For information about NetSuite components supported as SDF custom objects, see Customizations Supported by SuiteCloud Development Framework.

For information about the XML format guidelines, see Specifying an SDF Custom Object Reference.

To define a bundle object dependency:

Using SuiteCloud IDE plug-in for WebStorm, see Defining Dependencies on SDF Custom Objects in a SuiteApp and Bundle Objects with SuiteCloud IDE Plug-in for WebStorm.
Manually, see Manually Defining Bundle Object Dependencies from the SuiteCloud Project Manifest.

Note:

For information about referencing objects using SDF CLI, see listmissingdependencies and adddependencies.
