AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, the concept of 'yielding' is used in SuiteScript to manage governance usage. Each SuiteScript function consumes a certain number of governance units, and each type of script has a limit to how much governance can be consumed. If the usage exceeds the limit, the script will fail at that point. In SuiteScript 1.0, developers are required to manage the governance usage manually. There's a method for getting the current remaining governance usage, which you can use to tell if your script is nearing the limit. The method is
nlapiGetContext().getRemainingUsage();
. Before the script reaches the limit, you can yield it. This causes the current memory usage to get saved into storage and your script gets restarted with the memory reloaded from storage. The method to yield a script is
nlapiYieldScript();
. In SuiteScript 2.0, this process is automated for certain scripts like map/reduce scripts. These scripts execute in a queue, and if one takes a long time to complete, it will yield after a set amount of time from the deployment record, and re-queue itself to allow other scripts to run. When it yields in SuiteScript 2.0, the progress of the script is cached, so that when the script begins to run again it picks up from where it left off. However, it's important to note that you cannot manually yield a scheduled script in SuiteScript 2.0 as you could with SuiteScript 1.0. If you have a scheduled script with potentially long execution times, you should consider using a map/reduce script instead. A map/reduce script has built-in yielding and can be submitted for processing in the same ways as a scheduled script. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
