As an operational user, you may have encountered a persistent warning message appearing on multiple records in your NetSuite Release Preview account. This article aims to explain the issue, its implications, and the steps you need to take to ensure your system continues to function seamlessly.
The Issue: Ext JS Library Deprecation
The warning banner you are seeing is related to the use of the unsupported Ext JS library. NetSuite has initiated the process of removing this library, and it will be completely deprecated by the 2025.1 release. The Ext JS library is currently used in some NetSuite bundles, including the File Drag and Drop (DnD) and StickyNotes bundles.
Why This Matters
NetSuite has confirmed that the core bundled Ext JS usages are being upgraded to a licensed Ext JS instance. This upgrade will be completed before the 2025.1 release, ensuring that NetSuite’s core functionalities remain unaffected.
However, if your customizations depend on the Ext JS library, you will need to take action.
Steps to Address the Warning
To prepare for the removal of the Ext JS library, you have two options:
1. Adjust Your Code: Modify your code to eliminate the dependency on the Ext JS library. This approach ensures that your customizations will not be impacted when NetSuite removes the library.
2. Replace with External Instance: If you prefer to continue using the Ext JS library, you must replace it with your own external instance of the library. This will require you to manage and maintain the external instance independently of NetSuite.
Confirmation from NetSuite
NetSuite has confirmed that the warning banner is specifically related to the File Drag and Drop and StickyNotes bundles using the Ext JS library. The core bundled Ext JS usages are being upgraded to a licensed Ext JS instance, addressing this issue before the 2025.1 release. It is important to note that this does not affect any functionality you are currently using on your account.
Preparing for Future Releases
NetSuite's 2024.2 Release Notes indicate that the process of removing the unsupported Ext JS library has begun. It is crucial for users whose customizations depend on this library to prepare for its removal as soon as possible.
Conclusion
The warning message related to the Ext JS library in NetSuite’s Release Preview prompts the taking of necessary action. By adjusting your code or replacing the library with an external instance, you can mitigate any potential disruptions. NetSuite’s confirmation provides assurance that core functionalities will remain intact, allowing you to focus on optimizing your system for future updates.
