SuiteAnalytics

This release note was updated April 28, 2025.

NetSuite 2025.1 includes the following enhancements to SuiteAnalytics:

Latest ADO.NET Driver Version Available

As of April 28, 2025, the latest version of the SuiteAnalytics ADO.NET driver is available for download. Upgrade to this version is optional, but it is recommended that you download and install it. If you are using an ADO.NET driver, you can upgrade to the ADO.NET driver version 8.10.176.0.

The new driver version includes the following:

  • Support for .NET and .NET Framework. This release includes support for .NET 8, and also includes templates and sample projects that you can use to create your own .NET and .NET Framework applications.

  • General bug fixes.

  • A new tool to register your driver. In previous releases, you could only add your driver file to Windows Global Assembly Cache (GAC) by using the VsUtil.exe tool. With this release, the VsUtil.exe tool has been removed and you can add your driver file to Windows GAC using a new command line application. The driver installation folder contains two driver files: NetSuite.SuiteAnalyticsConnect.dll and NetSuite.SuiteAnalyticsConnectStd.dll. You can use one of the two files depending on your application.

    • If you are using .NET Framework, use the driver file NetSuite.SuiteAnalyticsConnect.dll.

    • If you are using .NET, use the driver file NetSuite.SuiteAnalyticsConnectStd.dll.

      Note:

      The driver has dependencies to some packages. Ensure that the following NuGet packages are included: System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager, System.Diagnostics.PerformanceCouter, and System.Security.Permissions.

    • For more information about this driver version and how to use the driver files, see ADO.NET Driver for Windows (8.10.176.0).

To download the latest driver version, log in to NetSuite. In the Settings portlet on the Home page, click Set Up SuiteAnalytics Connect. To ensure that the file that you downloaded is safe, you can check the SHA256 checksum value. The SHA256 checksum of the downloadable EXE file for the ADO.NET driver is 5ddbfbd0e3fc1f2ffa3a89c83c01074b1e958499a8c43db32fe1d7c35a8b586f. This value is shown under Driver Details on the Connect driver download page. For more information, see Connect Driver Download Page.

For general information about how to install the ADO.NET driver, see Accessing the Connect Service Using an ADO.NET Data Provider.

Latest JDBC Driver Version Available

As of February 17, 2025, the latest version of the SuiteAnalytics JDBC driver is available for download. If you are using a JDBC driver, you can upgrade to JDBC driver version 8.10.170.0.

The latest driver version is optional, but it is recommended that you download and install it. The new driver version supports the java.sql.Connection.getSchema() method, which is required if you use the Boomi Database V2 connector. For this version, ensure that the NegotiateSSLClose parameter is set to false.

To download the latest driver version, log in to NetSuite. In the Settings portlet on the Home page, click Set Up SuiteAnalytics Connect.

For more information about the latest driver, see JDBC Driver 8.10.170.0.

End of Support for the NetSuite.com Data Source

Previously, a process was started to remove the NetSuite.com data source from SuiteAnalytics Connect. As part of this process, support is now ending for the NetSuite.com data source. This means that the NetSuite.com data source is still available, but support cases requesting bug fixes or performance enhancements for the NetSuite.com data source will not be considered. The only exception to this rule is if the data source is down.

Important:

The NetSuite.com data source will be completely removed as of NetSuite 2026.1.

To avoid disruption when the NetSuite.com data source is removed, you must complete all of the required actions to use SuiteAnalytics Connect with the Netsuite2.com data source only.

For information about how to transition to the NetSuite2.com data source, see Changing from NetSuite.com to NetSuite2.com.

New Option to Send Reports to Each Group Member

Now you can send reports to each member of a group. Before this change, when you sent reports to a Group entity, the reports were sent to the group email address only and not to the email addresses of each member of the group. With this release, now you can check the All individual group members box to send your report to each member of the group.

This option is available when you send reports and schedule them. For more information, see the following topics:

New HTML Formulas in Search Feature

The new HTML Formulas in Search feature enables users with the Administrator role to assign the Create HTML Formulas in Search permission to other users. This change improves the security of saved searches in your account and raises awareness of the risks of inserting HTML and scripts into a saved search. For more information, see Evaluating Code in Saved Searches Using Formula(HTML) Fields.

Simplification of Custom Fields Data Transfer to NetSuite Analytics Warehouse

You can now transfer the data from your custom and supplemental standard fields to NetSuite Analytics Warehouse in an easier way and directly from the data transfer setup page in NetSuite. This simplifies the data augmentation process and saves you time by not requiring you to go to the NetSuite Analytics Warehouse interface to complete this task. For more information, see Transferring Custom and Supplemental Fields to NetSuite Analytics Warehouse.

New NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Data Reload Feature

You can now easily reload and update the data in all of your standard and custom fields in your NetSuite Analytics Warehouse instance. You can reload your data from the data transfer setup page in NetSuite. With this new feature you ensure data consistency and synchronization with your NetSuite account after you modify your fields in NetSuite. For more information, see Reloading Your Data to NetSuite Analytics Warehouse.

New NetSuite Analytics Warehouse Data Lineage Mapping Guide

A mapping guide is now available in NetSuite Analytics Warehouse that helps you track the origins and transformations of your data. You can download a mapping guide file to trace your data from the NetSuite application to the Analytics Warehouse platform. This mapping guide helps you identify the fields in the Analytics Warehouse and relate them to the equivalent NetSuite fields. Seeing the relationship between the fields provides a better understanding of the Analytics Warehouse semantic layer and ensures better usage of the analytic tools.
