Adding the Alternate Implementation to NetSuite
Alternate implementations are encapsulated by the New Plug-in Implementation record type. The New Plug-in Implementation record is a child record to the Custom Plug-in Type record. See Creating a Custom Plug-in Alternate Implementation before performing the steps in this procedure.
To create a New Plug-in Implementation record:
-
Go to Customization > Plug-ins > Plug-in Implementations > New.
-
Select the script file that contains your alternate implementation, and then click Create Plug-in Implementation.
-
On the New Plug-In Implementation record, enter the following:
-
Name: Provide a user-friendly name for your implementation. This name will appear on the Manage Plug-In Implementations page that administrators use to activate/deactivate the implementations in their account. See Managing Custom Plug-in Implementations for details.
-
ID: Provide an internal ID for the implementation. If you do not provide an ID, NetSuite provides one for you when you click Save.
-
Status: Set to either Testing or Release. Set the status to Released when you are ready to have the implementation accessible in a production environment.
-
Log Level: Set to the appropriate logging level you want for the script.
-
Description: If you choose, provide a brief description of what the alternate implementation includes.
-
Owner: This field defaults to the name of the logged in user.
-
Inactive: Set whether you want the custom plug-in type to be active or inactive.
-
On the Scripts tab, enter the following:
-
Implementation (SuiteScript 1.0 scripts only): Select the script file that includes your alternate implementation of the custom plug-in type.
-
Libraries (SuiteScript 1.0 scripts only): If you have a library file that contains utility functions for your alternate implementation, add the library file(s) here.
-
-
On the Unhandled Errors tab, define which individual(s) are notified if script errors occur. By default, the Notify Script Owner box is checked.
-
-
Click Save.
You can access a list of all your implementations by going to Customization > Plug-ins > Manage Plug-ins.
You can use SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF) to manage alternate custom plug-in implementations as part of file-based customization projects. For information about SDF, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.
You can use the Copy to Account feature to copy an individual alternate custom plug-in implementation to another of your accounts. When you edit an alternate custom plug-in implementation, a clickable Copy to Account option is available in the upper right corner. For information about Copy to Account, see Copy to Account.
