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 ADO.NET Provider for NetSuite is a standard ADO.NET Provider 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


ADO.NET Provider

The ADO.NET Provider provides a SQL interface for NetSuite; this tutorial shows how to use the Provider to create, retrieve, update, and delete NetSuite data.

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.

  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


$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


$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


$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()
