Netsuite In-DB Tools

Hi There!

 

We are working on a project connecting to NetSuite. We are able to succesfully connect via the standard input data tool where 'NetSuite' is listed as supported, however in an ideal world we would like to use the In-database tools for this processing.

 

It is not listed as supported for these tools however we did note the 'generic ODBC' option which we tried, however when using this, though it establishes a connection and allow's us to use the visual query builder in the 'in-database input data' tool, when executing the workflow it returns the error 'Error SQLPrepare:[NetSuite][ODBC 64bit Driver][Open Access SDK SQL Engine] Syntax Error in SQL Statement'.

 

Though we believe this is simply a limitation of the product, given NetSuite is not neccessarily supported, we wanted to check whether anyone had any success connecting to this platform using the in-database method?

 

Otherwise we are looking for general advice on our other options to improve the execution speed of a workflow using standard input tools. So far we have the following list;

 

- During development use the limit clause in order to reduce the volume of records that your workflow is using

- During development use the 'caching' feature in order to not have to build the database input with each run

- Ensure we are selecting only relevant fields and aggregating data to the required level of detail for analysis

 

Thanks for your support!

@BenMoss , you're right in saying that Netsuite is not supported In-DB as seen in our documentation:  https://help.alteryx.com/20223/designer/netsuite 

 

Your three points are spot on regarding improving execution speed.

 

Check out the article below as well that I believe may be applicable for you and your use case.
