You can test some script conversions live at www.richvann.com - look for the "*** TRY IT OUT LIVE ***" button on the home page.
● At some point NetSuite will likely deprecate version 1.
Besides the obvious labor/cost savings, the far greater benefit of an automated approach is the elimination of the large number of errors that would likely occur with a purely manual conversion process.
d. Submitting sends a "Conversion Request" containing the above script "meta-data" (libraries, entry point functions, etc) to rich@richvann.com.
Send a zip file containing the scripts in the root folder and subfolders to rich@richvann.com (or use a file sharing service like www.mediafire.com or www.diawi.com).
Using the supplied script meta data and script files, the conversion tool is applied to these scripts which will convert about 95% of the script automatically.
6. Manual Creation of the SuiteScript 2 records and deployments in NetSuite Currently, RVC does not support the capability to automatically create the new version 2 script records and deployments and retire those for version 1 (but that is on the product road map to be available shortly).
Test/debug the resulting v2 scripts.
It may take a few iterations massaging the input script to get the maximal conversion.
Rich charges a fee for his conversion service but, since it is based on an automated process, is a fraction of the cost of manual conversions (and without the attendant errors/bugs).
