12/29/2020, 9:57 AMthe basic answer is to use the code from the suitelet in your user event script instead
battk
12/29/2020, 9:59 AMthe new intermediate answer is to use a restlet instead and use https.requestRestlet
battk
12/29/2020, 10:01 AMthe advanced hacky answer is that internal suitelet urls require a vaiid JSESSIONID cookie to be sent. If your user event is triggered from the ui, you can retrieve the JSESSIONID cookie from the user for use in the user event script, where you can send the cookie in your request

12/29/2020, 10:01 AMthe code is already at the userevent level but planning to moved it to either suitelet or restlet. I'm thinking of using suitelet since it is an internal call/request only.

12/29/2020, 10:02 AMi personally will tell you to leave the code in the user event

12/29/2020, 10:02 AMif you want to use it in multiple places, put the code in a custom module that is shared between your scripts

12/29/2020, 10:04 AMthe code needs two create 2 transaction types. putting it on a userevent will slowdown the process that's why I'm planning to moved it to another script type and then trigger it via userevent.

battk
12/29/2020, 10:04 AMthe code will take the same amount of time, plus transport time from https

12/29/2020, 10:07 AMit will be like calling an adhoc scheduled script.

12/29/2020, 10:08 AMI can't used sched script because we already have problems on processors utilization that's why I'm thinking of other ways to do it.
