Provide real-time NetSuite data to interactive controls.
The Connect Server enables you to use Web services to connect to and query NetSuite data. This article details how to import an OData feed of NetSuite data into Wijmo Grid.
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
Configuring Connect Server
To work with live NetSuite data in Wijmo Grid, we need to connect to NetSuite from Connect Server, provide user access to the new virtual database, and create OData endpoints for the NetSuite data.
Add a Connect Server User
Create a User to connect to NetSuite from Wijmo Grid through Connect Server.
- Click Users -> Add
-
Configure a User
-
Click Save Changes and make note of the Authtoken for the new user
Connect to NetSuite from Connect Server
CData Connect Server uses a straightforward, point-and-click interface to connect to data sources and generate APIs.
-
Open Connect Server and click Connections
- Select "NetSuite" from Available Data Sources
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to NetSuite.
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.
- Click Save Changes
- Click Privileges -> Add and add the new user (or an existing user) with the appropriate permissions (SELECT is all that is required for Reveal).
Add NetSuite OData Endpoints in Connect Server
After connecting to NetSuite, create OData Endpoints for the desired table(s).
- Click OData -> Tables -> Add Tables
- Select the NetSuite database
-
Select the table(s) you wish to work with and click Next
- (Optional) Edit the resource to select specific fields and more
- Save the settings
(Optional) Configure Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
When accessing and connecting to multiple domains from an application such as Ajax, there is a possibility of violating the limitations of cross-site scripting. In that case, configure the CORS settings in OData -> Settings.
- Enable cross-origin resource sharing (CORS): ON
- Allow all domains without '*': ON
- Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, PUT, POST, OPTIONS
- Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization
Save the changes to the settings.

Connect to NetSuite Data using Wijmo Grid
Create a Real-Time Grid
Follow the steps below to consume NetSuite data from the Wijmo JavaScript controls:
-
Load the required Wijmo, jQuery, and Knockout libraries:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script> <!--Theme--> <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/themes/aristo/jquery-wijmo.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!--Wijmo Widgets CSS--> <link href="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20161.90.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <!--Wijmo Widgets JavaScript--> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-open.all.3.20161.90.min.js"></script> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/jquery.wijmo-pro.all.3.20161.90.min.js"></script> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/interop/wijmo.data.ajax.3.20161.90.js"></script> <!--Knockout JS Library--> <!-- Both of the links below can work --> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/wijmo/external/knockout-2.2.0.js"></script> <!--<script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/amd-js/3.20161.90/knockout-3.1.0.js"></script>--> <!--Wijmo Knockout Integration Library--> <script src="http://cdn.wijmo.com/interop/knockout.wijmo.3.20161.90.js"></script>
-
Create a ViewModel and connect to it using the ODataView. You will need to replace the placeholder values for
the URL of the API Server, an API Server user, and the authtoken for that user.
<script id="scriptInit"> $.support.cors = true; var viewModel; function ViewModel() { var salesorderView = new wijmo.data.ODataView("http://MyServer:MyPort/api.rsc/SalesOrder", { ajax: { dataType: "jsonp", username: "MyUser", password: "MyAuthtoken", data: { "$inlinecount": null } }, pageSize: 10 }); salesorderView.refresh(); salesorderView.nextPage(); this.salesorder = salesorderView; this.prevPage = function () {salesorderView.prevPage();}; this.nextPage = function () {salesorderView.nextPage();}; } $(document).ready(function () { viewModel = new ViewModel(); ko.applyBindings(viewModel, $(".container").get(0)); }); </script>
-
DataBind: Below is a simple table with some paging buttons, which you can paste into the body section of your markup.
<h2>Connect to Live NetSuite Data in Real Time</h2> <h3>SalesOrder</h3> <div> <button title="previous page" class="pagebuttons" data-bind="click: prevPage, button: {}"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-seek-prev" /> </button> <button title="next page" class="pagebuttons" data-bind="click: nextPage, button: {}"> <span class="ui-icon ui-icon-seek-next" /> </button> </div> <table id="demo-grid" data-bind="wijgrid: { data: salesorder, showFilter: true, allowPaging: true, pagerSettings: { position: 'none'}, columnsAutogenerationMode: 'append', }" > </table>
At this point, you may be prompted to re-enter the username and authtoken. After doing so, a resulting table
or grid should appear, as seen below. You can filter and sort through pages of NetSuite data.
