Customization Through SuiteScript

• SuiteScript is a JavaScript-based API that eanables developers to extend NetSuite beyond the capabilities provided through SuiteBuilder point-and-click customization.
• SuiteScript allows user to :
  • Perform custom business processing when NetSuite records are viewed, updated, created, or deleted.
  • Perform custom validations and calculations in the browser client.
  • Created custom user interfaces.
  • Run batch processes.
  • Perform various utility processing, such as sending emails and faxes or creating and uploading files.
  • Create custom dashboard portlets.
• NetSuite does have some technical limitations with the use of SuiteScript.

SuiteScript Metering

The following table identifies the allowed metering limit for the different script types:

Overcoming Metering Limitations

• Developers should be aware of the cost of each type of function they want to use and determine if there is a more cost-effective alternative.
• Scheduled scripts include code to check the remaining meter usage and reschedule the script if nearing the limit

if (ctx.getRemainingUsage() <= 1000)
{
    try
    {
        throw "ignoreme";
    } catch(noop)
    {
    }
    nlapiYieldScript();
}

SuiteCloud Plus

• NetSuite provides a single queue for running scheduled scripts
• Scheduling multiple scripts results in:
  • Bottlenecking
  • Decreased performance
  • Increased long script execution time
• With the purchase of a SuiteCloud Plus license, companies can upgrade the number of scheduled script queues from one to five.
• SuiteCloud Plus can enhance performance by:
  • Increasing the number of threads available for Web services through support of a concurrent Web services user.
  • Increasing the number of queues available for scheduled scripts.
  • Increasing the number of queues and threads available for CSV import jobs.

Using SuiteCloud Plus

• Queue dropdown field is added to the Script Deployment record for scheduled scripts
• The script author or administrator can use this field to set the target queue of a script

Tip: To process the same script concurrently, create multiple deployments for the same script and then set each deployment to a different queue.
