Run flows in parallel with a secondary NetSuite connection

The Amazon - NetSuite integration app includes a secondary NetSuite connection that lets you run flows in parallel. Think of it as an additional channel for syncing the data your flows generate. Assign it either to flows with low-volume, high-priority, time-critical data, or to flows with high-volume, low-priority data that isn't time-critical. Either way, your time-critical flows stop waiting behind other traffic and sync faster.

Choose which flows use the secondary connection

Use your judgment when you assign flows. As a rule, give the connection that serves high-priority, time-critical data the larger share of concurrency, so urgent data syncs quickly.

Scenario Primary connection Secondary connection Result
1 Low-volume, high-priority, time-critical flows, such as orders High-volume, low-priority, non-time-critical flows, such as settlements Orders sync faster without waiting in the queue.
2 High-volume, high-priority, time-critical flows, such as orders and fulfillments High-volume, lower-priority, non-time-critical flows, such as settlements More concurrency is available for time-critical data.

Set up the secondary connection

  1. Go to Resources > Connections.
  2. Search for Secondary NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App), and open it.
  3. Enter the connection details and select Save. The connection comes online.
  4. Under Advanced Settings, set the Concurrency Level for Secondary NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App) and NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App), splitting the available concurrency between them as needed.
  5. In the Amazon - NetSuite integration app, go to Settings > Connections. If NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App) is offline, edit it and enter the correct credentials to bring it online.

Note: Both NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App) and Secondary NetSuite Connection (Amazon Integration App) must be online before you assign flows to the secondary connection.

Assign flows to the secondary connection

  1. On the Amazon - NetSuite integration app tile, select Settings.
  2. Go to General, and in Select flows to allot secondary NetSuite connection, select the flows that should use the secondary connection.
  3. Select Save.

After you refresh the browser, the secondary connection appears in Settings > Connections.
