10/17/2019, 5:24 PMSo I have a (scheduled) suitescript that is trying to submit a scheduled task multiple times, once for each of a handful of items, but failing because after submitting it the first time, the task is still running when the script tries to submit it the second time. I was under the impression that task.submit would place it in the queue rather than failing, is there a way to have that functionality, or will I have to change my script so that it only submits the task once and the task handles all of the items in one run?

10/17/2019, 5:29 PMyeah I'm prepping to change to m/r scripts but that isn't happening this cycle
Siena
10/17/2019, 5:31 PMThere isn't much code to be shared, the basics are
Copy code
searchIds.forEach(function(searchID) {
var scriptTask = task.create({
taskType: task.TaskType.SCHEDULED_SCRIPT,
scriptId: 'customscript_sendsearch',
deploymentId: 'customdeploy_sendsearch',
params: { custscript__fileid: fileId }
});
var searchTask = task.create({
taskType: task.TaskType.SEARCH
});
searchTask.savedSearchId = searchId;
searchTask.fileId = fileId;
searchTask.addInboundDependency(scriptTask);
var taskId = searchTask.submit();
}Siena

10/17/2019, 5:35 PMCreate many deployments, and when you create the task, do not specify the
deploymentIds

10/17/2019, 5:35 PMhm yea i thought that might be the case. Thanks
Siena
10/17/2019, 5:35 PMI'll try that

10/17/2019, 7:23 PMwould that be the same case for m/r script too? would you need multiple deployments of a m/r script?

10/17/2019, 7:33 PMHe is using multiple deployments because he is splitting up his input set to fit within the governance of a single scheduled script.
A mapreduce script would not have the same governance limitation and would not need multiple deployments to cover the same input set.
You would still need multiple deployments for a mapreduce script for more than one instance of the same script to run or be queued at the same time.
