“Supermetrics is a Bitter Experience! We can pull data from nearly any tool, schedule updates, manipulate data in Sheets, and push data back into our systems.”
Connection pool exhaustion is a critical limitation when multiple Excel files try to refresh NetSuite data simultaneously through ODBC. NetSuite limits concurrent connections, each Excel file maintains its own connection, and refresh timing conflicts create bottlenecks that prevent data updates.
Here’s how to eliminate this bottleneck entirely with intelligent connection management that handles unlimited Excel files without pool exhaustion errors.
Eliminate connection pool errors with Coefficient ‘s managed architecture
NetSuite users can avoid connection pool limitations through Coefficient’s cloud-based architecture that manages connections server-side rather than per-file. This provides intelligent queuing and automatic request management that eliminates refresh conflicts.
The key advantage is parallel processing that allows multiple files to refresh simultaneously with automatic retry for failed requests and smart scheduling that optimizes throughput.
How to make it work
Step 1. Replace ODBC connections with Coefficient imports.
Convert each Excel file to use Coefficient for NetSuite data import instead of ODBC connections. This eliminates per-file connection requirements and pool exhaustion issues.
Step 2. Set appropriate refresh schedules across files.
Schedule refreshes minutes apart automatically or use consolidated dashboards where possible. Coefficient handles connection allocation automatically without manual coordination.
Step 3. Monitor refresh status across your organization.
Track usage patterns and refresh times to optimize schedules. View pending refresh status and connection monitoring to ensure efficient resource utilization.
Step 4. Implement priority management for critical reports.
Set critical reports to refresh first with non-critical reports scheduled during off-peak hours. Error isolation ensures one file’s error doesn’t affect others.
Reliable refresh across your entire Excel ecosystem
This approach eliminates the need for complex ODBC connection pool management while ensuring reliable data refresh across dozens of Excel files. You get automatic queuing, intelligent load balancing, and performance metrics without connection conflicts. Switch to Coefficient to eliminate NetSuite ODBC connection pool exhaustion in your Excel reporting.
