NetSuite Delete activity

Introduction

A NetSuite Delete activity, using its NetSuite connection, deletes records in NetSuite and is intended to be used as a target to consume data in an operation.

Create a NetSuite Delete activity

An instance of a NetSuite Delete activity is created from a NetSuite connection using its Delete activity type.

To create an instance of an activity, drag the activity type to the design canvas or copy the activity type and paste it on the design canvas. For details, see Create an activity or tool instance in Component reuse.

An existing NetSuite Delete activity can be edited from these locations:

Configure a NetSuite Delete activity

Follow these steps to configure a NetSuite Delete activity:

Step 1: Enter a name

NetSuite Delete activity 1

  • Name: Enter a name to use to identify the NetSuite Delete activity. The name must be unique for each NetSuite Delete activity and must not contain forward slashes (/) or colons (:).

  • Save & Exit: If enabled, click to save the configuration for this step and close the activity configuration.

  • Next: Click to continue to the next step and temporarily store the configuration. The configuration is not saved until you click the Finished button on the last step.

  • Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Step 2: Review the data schemas

  • Data Schema: The request and response data schemas for NetSuite are displayed. If the operation uses a transformation, the data schemas are displayed again during the transformation mapping process, where you can map to target fields using source objects, scripts, variables, custom values, and more.

    The NetSuite connector uses the SOAP web services API used in the version of NetSuite WSDL you have configured. Refer to documentation provided in the NetSuite Help Center for information on the schema fields.

    Tip

    During the transformation mapping process, you can map to either the internalId or externalId fields in NetSuite to associate the records to be deleted.

  • Refresh: Click the refresh icon or the word Refresh to regenerate schemas from the NetSuite endpoint. This action also regenerates a schema in other locations throughout the project where the same schema is referenced, such as in an adjacent transformation.

  • Back: Click to return to the previous step and temporarily store the configuration.

  • Finished: Click to save the configuration for all steps and close the activity configuration.

  • Discard Changes: After making changes, click to close the configuration without saving changes made to any step. A message asks you to confirm that you want to discard changes.

Next steps

After configuring a NetSuite Delete activity, you can use it within an operation or script as described below.

Complete the operation

After configuring a NetSuite Delete activity, complete the configuration of the operation by adding and configuring other activities or tools as operation steps. You can also configure the operation settings, which include the ability to chain operations together that are in the same or different workflows.

Menu actions for an activity are accessible from the project pane and the design canvas. For details, see Activity actions menu in Connector basics.

NetSuite Delete activities can be used as a target with these operation patterns:

Operations that contain a NetSuite activity can have only one NetSuite activity and cannot also contain any Salesforce, Salesforce Service Cloud, SAP, ServiceMax, or SOAP activities.

Other patterns are not valid using NetSuite Delete activities. See the validation patterns on the Operation validity page.

To use the activity with scripting functions, write the data to a temporary location and then use that temporary location in the scripting function.

When ready, deploy and run the operation and validate behavior by checking the operation logs.

Recommendation

Enable chunking to avoid runtime errors from record limits imposed by NetSuite's API.
