Creating an SSP application folder in NetSuite organizes your scripts and assets for eCommerce applications.

·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

Creating an SSP application folder is essential for organizing your web application assets like scripts, libraries, and images. Each SSP application in your NetSuite account has a unique application folder, which holds all necessary elements for that application. This guide will detail the steps required to create a new SSP application folder effectively.

How to Create an SSP Application Folder

Follow these steps to set up an SSP application folder:

  1. Create a New Application Folder:

    • If this is your first SSP application, you will need to create a new application folder.
    • To create an SSP application folder from the SSP application record, click the + sign next to the Application Folder dropdown.
    • Alternatively, you can create a folder from the file cabinet by navigating to Web Site Hosting Files > Live Hosting Files > SSP Applications and clicking New SSP Application.

    Note: Ensure you create the SSP application folder within the correct hosting root that stores your website’s assets. This might be the Live Hosting Files, Staging Hosting Files, or any custom folder you create.

  2. Select an HTML Hosting Root:
    In the SSP Application Folder popup, choose an HTML Hosting Root. This is a list of folders available in your Web Site Hosting Files folder in the file cabinet. You can create a new folder if needed.

  3. Choose an Application Publisher:
    Select an Application Publisher from the dropdown. To create a new application publisher, click the + sign, enter the desired name for the publisher, and click Save.

    Important: The application publisher name must be unique across all NetSuite accounts.

  4. Enter an Application Name:
    Fill in the Application Name. This name will serve as the folder name for all your SSP application assets and will usually be included in the base URL visible to web store users. While the application name can differ from the one on the SSP Application record, maintaining consistency is advised to avoid confusion.

  5. Save the Configuration:
    Click Save to finalize the creation of your application folder.

Understanding the SSP Application Folder Path

The path for the new SSP application folder will follow this format:

<HTML Hosting Root>: /SSP Applications/<Application Publisher>/<Application Name>

Who This Affects

  • Developers: Those creating and managing custom SSP applications in NetSuite.
  • Administrators: Users responsible for overseeing the overall structure of web assets.

Key Takeaways

  • Each SSP application requires its application folder for asset management.
  • Careful selection of unique publisher names is essential.
  • An organized structure ensures easy access and management of web application components.
