How to pipe NetSuite Data to CSV in PowerShell



Use standard PowerShell cmdlets to access NetSuite tables.

The CData Cmdlets Module for NetSuite is a standard PowerShell module offering straightforward integration with NetSuite. Below, you will find examples of using our NetSuite Cmdlets with native PowerShell cmdlets.

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


Creating a Connection to Your NetSuite Data

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.

$conn = Connect-NetSuite  -Account Id "$Account Id" -Password "$Password" -User "$User" -Role Id "$Role Id" -Version "$Version"

Selecting Data

Follow the steps below to retrieve data from the SalesOrder table and pipe the result into to a CSV file:

Select-NetSuite -Connection $conn -Table SalesOrder | Select -Property * -ExcludeProperty Connection,Table,Columns | Export-Csv -Path c:\mySalesOrderData.csv -NoTypeInformation

You will notice that we piped the results from Select-NetSuite into a Select-Object cmdlet and excluded some properties before piping them into an Export-Csv cmdlet. We do this because the CData Cmdlets append Connection, Table, and Columns information onto each "row" in the result set, and we do not necessarily want that information in our CSV file.

The Connection, Table, and Columns are appended to the results in order to facilitate piping results from one of the CData Cmdlets directly into another one.

Deleting Data

The following line deletes any records that match the criteria:

Select-NetSuite -Connection $conn -Table SalesOrder -Where "Class_Name = Furniture : Office" | Remove-NetSuite

Inserting and Updating Data

The cmdlets make data transformation easy as well as data cleansing. The following example loads data from a CSV file into NetSuite, checking first whether a record already exists and needs to be updated instead of inserted.

Import-Csv -Path C:\MySalesOrderUpdates.csv | %{
  $record = Select-NetSuite -Connection $NetSuite -Table SalesOrder -Where ("InternalId = `'"+$_.InternalId+"`'")
  if($record){
    Update-NetSuite -Connection $netsuite -Table SalesOrder -Columns ("CustomerName","SalesOrderTotal") -Values ($_.CustomerName, $_.SalesOrderTotal) -Where ("InternalId = `'"+$_.InternalId+"`'")
  }else{
    Add-NetSuite -Connection $netsuite -Table SalesOrder -Columns ("CustomerName","SalesOrderTotal") -Values ($_.CustomerName, $_.SalesOrderTotal)
  }
}

As always, our goal is to simplify the way you connect to data. With cmdlets users can install a data module, set the connection properties, and start building. Download Cmdlets and start working with your data in PowerShell today!
