Moving from SuiteBundler to SuiteCloud Development Framework

SuiteBundler is no longer being update. You should shift away from using SuiteBundler for development and distribution as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can leverage SuiteCloud Development Framework (SDF), SuiteApp Control Center, and Copy to Account for their enhanced capabilities. To help you decide which of these features is appropriate for packaging and distributing your customizations, see the following:

Develop New SuiteApps

If you are a SuiteCloud Developer Network (SDN) member, you can use SDF to develop new SuiteApps in a SuiteApp project within an IDE. You can then use SuiteApp Control Center in NetSuite to publish your SDF SuiteApp to the SuiteApp Marketplace and to distribute updates to your customers’ NetSuite accounts. Customers can install or update SDF SuiteApps from the SuiteApp Marketplace.

For information about using SDF to develop custom objects, see SuiteCloud Development Framework.

For information about using SuiteApp Control Center to distribute SuiteApps, see SuiteApp Control Center Overview.

Copy a Custom Object to Another NetSuite Account

If you need to copy a custom object to another account you manage, use Copy to Account -it copies the object and its dependencies to that account.

For information about copying a custom object from one account to another account you administer, see Copy to Account.

Convert Your Existing Installed Bundles to SDF-Built SuiteApps

You can convert bundles that you have built with SuiteBundler and installed in accounts that you administer into SDF account customization projects (ACPs). After these customizations are converted, they are available for further development in SDF from within an IDE or CLI.

ACPs are for customizing accounts you own, such as production, development, and sandbox accounts. Converted bundles are saved as a zip file in the File Cabinet. Download and modify the zip file's contents as needed. By converting, you can use SDF to develop custom objects from existing SuiteApps for your company's use.

Note:

You cannot convert a bundle directly to a SuiteApp project. However, you can convert a bundle to an ACP, and you can copy custom objects from the ACP project to a SuiteApp project within an IDE.

To deploy customizations, choose from these tools: SuiteCloud IDE for WebStorm, SuiteCloud Extension for Visual Studio, or SuiteCloud CLI for Node.js or Java.

To convert a bundle into an SDF account customization project, see Conversion of a Bundle to an Account Customization Project for SDF.

For more information about developing custom objects in ACPs, see Account Customization Projects.
