This feature is in Public Preview.

The managed NetSuite connector in Lakeflow Connect allows you to ingest data from NetSuite into Databricks.

What to know before you start

Topic

Why it matters

Databricks user persona

The workflow depends on your Databricks user persona:

  • Single-user: An admin user creates a Unity Catalog connection and an ingestion pipeline.
  • Multi-user: An admin user creates a connection for non-admin users to create pipelines with.

Authentication method

The steps to create a connection depend on the authentication method you choose. For supported methods, see Authentication methods.

Interface

The steps to create a pipeline depend on the interface.

Ingestion frequency

The pipeline schedule depends on your latency and cost requirements.

Common patterns

Depending on your ingestion needs, the pipeline might use configurations like history tracking, column selection, and row filtering. Supported configurations vary by connector. See Feature availability.

Steps

Admin

  1. Configure NetSuite to enable authentication from Databricks. See Configure NetSuite for ingestion into Databricks.
  2. Either:
    • Use Catalog Explorer to create a connection to NetSuite so that non-admins can create pipelines. See NetSuite.
    • Use the data ingestion UI to create a connection and a pipeline at the same time. See Ingest data from NetSuite.

Non-admin

Use any supported interface to create a pipeline from an existing connection. See Ingest data from NetSuite.
