You can create a script parameter on the map-reduce that holds the file id and then use
N/taskMarvin
07/27/2022, 9:12 PMYou could also just have a directory that holds files waiting to be processed and and processed directory they are stored in after processing.

07/27/2022, 9:50 PMCan't it be similar to how we download a file from the server using https.get()?

07/27/2022, 10:41 PMskip the suitelet and generate the file in the map/reduce itself

07/27/2022, 10:45 PMSuitelet is already created and generating the PDF from the record.
NickSuite
07/27/2022, 10:45 PMI need MR to generate the PDF and send it via email.
NickSuite
07/27/2022, 10:45 PMI figured out a workaround. Returned the PDF body as string from Suitelet and created the PDF file in MR.

Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:47 PMJust out of curiosity, when you say your passing the string to the M/R script how are you passing it?

07/27/2022, 10:48 PMresponse.write() from suitelet.

Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:50 PMDo you mean you are calling the Suitelet from the M/R script?
Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:52 PMI think I misunderstood and thought the user was doing something in the Suitelet and you were trying to pass results into an M/R script.

07/27/2022, 10:52 PMhe made the suitelet external (a data risk), and is making an https request from the map/reduce
m
Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:56 PMYeah I didn't make that connection till much later. He technically doesn't have to make it external I don't think unless it's not in the same environment.

07/27/2022, 10:57 PMthe map/reduce does not have the required cookie to access internal urls
m
Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:58 PMOh that's a restriction I wasn't aware of.
Marvin
07/27/2022, 10:58 PMYeah the solution would be to just move the logic to the M/R script. Or move it to a shared module and that way the suitelet and M/R could share the logic.

07/28/2022, 11:52 AM@Marvin yes, @battk is correct. I tried to access it with internal URL only to realize that MR doesn't have "user" context but system one.
