Automate NetSuite Integration Tasks from PowerShell



Are you in search of a quick and easy way to access NetSuite data from PowerShell? This article demonstrates how to utilize the NetSuite Cmdlets for tasks like connecting to NetSuite data, automating operations, downloading data, and more.

The CData Cmdlets for NetSuite are standard PowerShell cmdlets that make it easy to accomplish data cleansing, normalization, backup, and other integration tasks by enabling real-time and bidirectional access to NetSuite.

About NetSuite Data Integration

CData provides the easiest way to access and integrate live data from Oracle NetSuite. Customers use CData connectivity to:

  • Access all editions of NetSuite, including Standard, CRM, and OneWorld.
  • Connect with all versions of the SuiteTalk API (SOAP-based) and SuiteQL, which functions like SQL, enabling easier data querying and manipulation.
  • Access predefined and custom reports through support for Saved Searches.
  • Securely authenticate with Token-based and OAuth 2.0, ensuring compatibility and security for all use cases.
  • Use SQL stored procedures to perform functional actions like uploading or downloading files, attaching or detaching records or relationships, retrieving roles, getting extra table or column info, getting job results, and more.

Customers use CData solutions to access live NetSuite data from their preferred analytics tools, Power BI and Excel. They also use CData's solutions to integrate their NetSuite data into comprehensive databases and data warehouse using CData Sync directly or leveraging CData's compatibility with other applications like Azure Data Factory. CData also helps Oracle NetSuite customers easily write apps that can pull data from and push data to NetSuite, allowing organizations to integrate data from other sources with NetSuite.

Getting Started


PowerShell Cmdlets or ADO.NET Provider?

The Cmdlets are not only a PowerShell interface to NetSuite, but also an SQL interface; this tutorial shows how to use both to create, retrieve, update, and delete NetSuite data. We also show examples of the ADO.NET equivalent, which is possible with the CData ADO.NET Provider for NetSuite. To access NetSuite data from other .NET applications, like LINQPad, use the CData ADO.NET Provider for NetSuite.

Once you have acquired the necessary connection properties, accessing NetSuite data in PowerShell can be enabled in three steps.

The User and Password properties, under the Authentication section, must be set to valid NetSuite user credentials. In addition, the AccountId must be set to the ID of a company account that can be used by the specified User. The RoleId can be optionally specified to log in the user with limited permissions.

See the "Getting Started" chapter of the help documentation for more information on connecting to NetSuite.

PowerShell

  1. Install the module:

    Install-Module NetSuiteCmdlets
  2. Connect:

    $netsuite = Connect-NetSuite -Account Id "$Account Id" -Password "$Password" -User "$User" -Role Id "$Role Id" -Version "$Version"
  3. Search for and retrieve data:

    $class_name = "Furniture : Office" $salesorder = Select-NetSuite -Connection $netsuite -Table "SalesOrder" -Where "Class_Name = `'$Class_Name`'" $salesorder

    You can also use the Invoke-NetSuite cmdlet to execute SQL commands:

    $salesorder = Invoke-NetSuite -Connection $netsuite -Query 'SELECT * FROM SalesOrder WHERE Class_Name = @Class_Name' -Params @{'@Class_Name'='Furniture : Office'}

ADO.NET

  1. Load the provider's assembly:

    [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile("C:\Program Files\CData\CData ADO.NET Provider for NetSuite\lib\System.Data.CData.NetSuite.dll")
  2. Connect to NetSuite:

    $conn= New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteConnection("Account Id=XABC123456;Password=password;User=user;Role Id=3;Version=2013_1;") $conn.Open()
  3. Instantiate the NetSuiteDataAdapter, execute an SQL query, and output the results:

    $sql="SELECT CustomerName, SalesOrderTotal from SalesOrder" $da= New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteDataAdapter($sql, $conn) $dt= New-Object System.Data.DataTable $da.Fill($dt) $dt.Rows | foreach { Write-Host $_.customername $_.salesordertotal }

Update NetSuite Data

PowerShell

Update-NetSuite -Connection $NetSuite -Columns @('CustomerName','SalesOrderTotal') -Values @('MyCustomerName', 'MySalesOrderTotal') -Table SalesOrder -Id "MyInternalId"

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteCommand("UPDATE SalesOrder SET Class_Name='Furniture : Office' WHERE InternalId = @myInternalId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteParameter("@myInternalId","10456255-0015501366"))) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Insert NetSuite Data

PowerShell

Add-NetSuite -Connection $NetSuite -Table SalesOrder -Columns @("CustomerName", "SalesOrderTotal") -Values @("MyCustomerName", "MySalesOrderTotal")

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteCommand("INSERT INTO SalesOrder (Class_Name) VALUES (@myClass_Name)", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteParameter("@myClass_Name","Furniture : Office"))) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()

Delete NetSuite Data

PowerShell

Remove-NetSuite -Connection $NetSuite -Table "SalesOrder" -Id "MyInternalId"

ADO.NET

$cmd = New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteCommand("DELETE FROM SalesOrder WHERE InternalId=@myInternalId", $conn) $cmd.Parameters.Add((New-Object System.Data.CData.NetSuite.NetSuiteParameter("@myInternalId","001d000000YBRseAAH"))) $cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
