02/23/2018, 8:48 PMHey guys, looking for some docs about how suitelets trigger user-event scripts. I've found some Help docs that say suitelets can trigger user-events but I can't find anything about the details. - a

02/23/2018, 8:49 PM@andrew castellano There is no details... you don't call the UE from the Suitelet, you modify the record with the Suitelet and the UE related/deployed on that record would trigger... - a
andrew castellano
02/23/2018, 8:50 PMSo, every time a suitelet does a "record.load()", the ue script of the corresponding record type is executed? - a
alien4u
02/23/2018, 8:51 PMnot sure about record load... you will have to try that...but if you load the record, change and save it should trigger the UE deployed on that record... - m

02/23/2018, 8:58 PM@alien4u, how else could a suitelet load a record without record.load()? Since, a suitelet is not executed in the context of one record, as in a user event? - a
alien4u
02/23/2018, 8:59 PM@andrew castellano I did not say you can't load the record, I said that I'm not sure what would happen when you do record.load()(probably nothing) until you save... - a
andrew castellano
02/23/2018, 9:01 PMSorry, I'm asking what alternative is there to record.load()? - a
alien4u
02/23/2018, 9:01 PMto do what? - a

02/23/2018, 9:01 PMload a record - a
andrew castellano
02/23/2018, 9:02 PMYou said that when you modify a record with a suitelet, then the related UE would trigger. How else can you modify a record without first doing a record.load()? - a
alien4u
02/23/2018, 9:02 PMFor loading a record there is only record.load() for getting data from a record there is lookupFields()(not all data could be retrieve using this method)... - a
alien4u
02/23/2018, 9:03 PMOhh couple of ways... inline editing... submitFields.. - a
andrew castellano
02/23/2018, 9:03 PMhmm, ok, I might have to look into those. - a

02/23/2018, 11:13 PMhere we go, a Friday afternoon question... - a
andrew castellano
02/23/2018, 11:14 PMHow is it that I deploy a suitelet and check 'available without login', then I click the 'external url' link and I get 'Notice: you do not have privileges to view this page" - a

02/24/2018, 3:15 AM@andrew castellano The last time I encountered that situation it turned out that I had failed to write anything to the response in the suitelet. - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:18 AMOh, that may be it then - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:18 AMI can't remember what I had written in the script at that time. - m

02/24/2018, 3:19 AMIf your suitelet redirects to a record within NetSuite you will also see that. - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:20 AMI'm pretty sure I was just doing some log.debug-ing - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:23 AMnow it is working (can hit the suitelet link without being logged in) but I'm not sure when that changed. I am returning from the onRequest function, but simply with 'return;' no 'response.write();' or anything like that - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:27 AMI think the first time the 'external url' worked was when I tried hitting it from firefox instead of chrome (I was logged into chrome) - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 3:27 AMSo after that I figured that 'external url' could only be hit when not logged in - a
andrew castellano
02/24/2018, 4:15 AMI'm trying to understand the difference between a Suitelet and a RESTlet. The docs say "The advantage of using a RESTlet compared with a Suitelet is that the RESTlet can return data, in plain text or JSON, to the client script." What can a Suitelet return? I can't find the documentation of the context.response object of a Suitelet. - a

02/24/2018, 4:42 AMsuitelets are usually used to display some kind of UI to the user and restlet is meant more to be a RESTful service that returns only data
