SuiteApps Updates in NetSuite 2022.1

2022.1 SuiteApps |

SuiteApp distribution includes SuiteBundler, SuiteApp Marketplace, and SuiteApp Control Center capabilities that you can use to distribute customizations to accounts.

Bundle Support During Release Phasing

Bundle support during phasing of 2022.1 is consistent with the support provided during previous

releases. During phasing of 2022.1, some accounts continue to use 2021.2 at the same time that other accounts are upgraded to 2022.1. Therefore, you may be using a different version than some of the accounts where your bundles are installed. Review the following descriptions for a reminder of how bundles from different versions are handled during release phasing:

  • Bundles developed with 2021.2 can be installed in accounts that are already using 2022.1.
  • Bundles developed with 2022.1 can be installed in accounts that are still using 2021.2, but with the following limitations:
    • When a user in a 2021.2 account installs a bundle from a 2022.1 account, the bundle installation stops if there are object types in the bundle that are not supported in 2021.2.
    • A bundle with a script that uses a new API available only in 2022.1 can be installed into a 2021.2 account, but the script may not function correctly because 2021.2 does not support the API.

SuiteBundler No Longer Receiving Feature Updates

SuiteBundler is still supported, but it will not be updated with any new features. To take advantage of new

features for packaging and distributing customizations, you can use the Copy to Account and SuiteCloud Development (SDF) features instead of SuiteBundler. Copy to Account is an administrator tool that you can use to copy custom objects between your accounts. The tool can copy one custom object at a time, including dependencies and data. For more information, see the help topic Copy to Account Overview.

SuiteCloud Development Framework is a development framework that you can use to create SuiteApps

from an integrated development environment (IDE) on your local computer. For more information, see the help topic SuiteCloud Development Framework Overview.
