Summary
This release delivers major improvements to export configuration, performance, and flexibility. We’ve addressed key limitations in how saved searches and exports are managed in NetSuite, making it faster and easier for you to configure, maintain, and run exports to your data warehouse.
Saved Search Configuration Simplification
Previously, NetSuite’s limitations forced datasets to be split across multiple saved searches and paginated manually. This created extra maintenance whenever updates were needed.
No More Export Limits
The architecture that capped export configurations is gone—allowing you to configure more exports without restrictions.
UI & Performance Enhancements
Configuration screens now load faster, and exports process concurrently instead of sequentially resulting in higher throughput. This means:
- Less time spent managing and maintaining exports.
- More flexibility in defining and adjusting searches.
- Faster performance and higher throughput.
New Features & Improvements
- Dynamic Search Pagination - You no longer need to configure multiple searches for the same dataset. Pagination settings are now defined at the Export Configuration level, and handled dynamically at runtime.
- One saved search = one export (no duplicates to maintain).
- Updating fields now only requires a single change.
- New Capability that allow pagination settings to be configured to control how datasets are broken into chunks at runtime:
- By Date
- Or disable pagination entirely by leaving this setting blank
- Removal of Export Limits - Export configurations have been refactored from Script Deployment Records to Custom Record Types, removing the previous 196-export limit.
- Custom Definition Flexibility - Export file names are now decoupled from saved search IDs, allowing you to freely update or swap searches without breaking existing exports.
- Improved User Experience (UX) - Concurrent export execution powered by modern NetSuite APIs (Map/Reduce), faster load times on the configuration page and more detailed export information displayed in the UI.
- New Record Type: Export Definition - All export attributes now live under the new Export Definition record type.
- Connectors are now directly linked to Export Definitions in NetSuite, making it much easier to see which configuration belongs to which connector.
- Maximum Output lines in the main configuration definition to allow the user to select the maximum number of lines to be outputted on each file.
- Map/Reduce processing - Export processing enhancements has been upgraded from legacy Scheduled Scripts to Map/Reduce processing, which allows virtually unlimited execution by spinning up concurrent queues dynamically.
- Bulk Add Search Configuration has been enabled to allow the addition and configuration of multiple saved searches on one screen.
