True

What tool is used to debug Client Scripts?

Browser Tools/Console

Debugger

What does a Mass Update Script do?

Programatically perform custom updates to fields that are not available through general mass updates. Capable of running complex calculations defined in your script across records.

When is the only time a mass update script can run?

On-Demand

What does a Portlet Script do?

Scripts are run server side and rendered in the NetSuite dashboard.

What types of options are supported in a portlet?

Form, Inline HTML, Links, Lists, SuiteApps

What does a Restlet Script do?

Script made available for other apps to call either from within or externally. Import/Export data.

What does a Suitelet Script do?

API that allow you to build custom NetSuite pages and backend logic. Server script that operates in a request-response model and invoked by HTTP (Get/Post) requests to system generated URL's.

What do User Event Scripts do?

Scripts that execute on the server side. Executed when users perform certain actions such as create, load, update, copy, delete, or submit on records.

What does a Scheduled Script do?

A server side time based script that execute at a predetermined time that is programmed by the user. Scripts scheduled to run at the same time are pushed to a queue.

What is the purpose of a Map /Reduce Script?

A server side script designed to handle large amounts of data. Best suited for situations where data can be divided into segments. Map processes data into key value pairs. Reduce used to finalize mapped data. Summarize is used to audit trails and for statistics. Use for simple tasks and not complex ones.

What is the purpose of a Workflow Action Script?

A server side script designed to create a custom action that functions within a workflow. Especially useful for performing sublist actions since sublists fields are unavailable in the workflow manager.

What is the purpose of a Client Side Script?

Scripts executed by predetermined event triggers in the client browser. They can validate user entered data and auto populate fields or sublists using various form events. Only trigger when creating NEW records or editing EXISTING records.

What is "Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY)" principle?

The idea is to eliminate writing the same lines of code more than once.

Every piece of knowledge must have a single, unambiguous, authoritative representation within a system.

When there are sequences that data could be inconcistent, not available, or invalid

What is the purpose of a TRY-CATCH block?

Log messages in a script should make business sense such as record ID, record type, and other relevant fields. (True/False)

True

What are the 4 log levels?

debug, audit, error, emergency

Client Side Workflow Triggers

Before User Edit (BUE)

Before Field Edit (BFE)

After Field Edit (AFE)

After Field Sourcing (AFS)

Before User Submit (BUS)

Server Side Workflow Triggers

Before Record Submit (BRS)

After Record Submit (ARS)

What is an example of Sequential Processing - Loose Coupling?

[Workflow X]

State 1 -------> [Sub-Workflow A]

State 2 -------> [Sub-Workflow B]

One component is not dependent on any other component.

Workflow X & Sub Workflows A/B are not dependent on one another.

What is an example of Sequential Processing - Tight Coupling?

[Workflow X]

State 1: Init. A <-----> [Sub-Workflow A]

State 1 & Sub Workflow A (Complete) ---> Transition to State 2

State 2: Init B <-----> [Sub Workflow B]

Creates processing dependencies between workflows.

Parent Workflow X and Sub-Workflow B are dependent on processing in Sub-Workflow A.

What is an example of Parallel Processing?

[Workflow X]

State 1: Init. Sub-WF [A] & [B]

State 2A: [Sub-WF A] (Complete)

State 2B: [Sub WF B] (Complete)

State 3: Sub-WF [A] & [B] (Complete)

State 1 Initiates both Sub WF A & B so they can start their runtime at the same time. Processing may complete at different points in time. But the transition to state 3 only occurs after both sub workflows are complete.

What is an example of Parallel Processing - Multiple Approvals?

[Workflow X]

[Workflow X]State 1: Entry

[Workflow X]State 2: Init. Approver B

[Workflow X]State 3: Approver A

[Workflow X]State 4: Approver B ------> [Sub WF A]

[Sub WF A] State 1: Entry

[Sub WF A] State 2: Approver B

[Sub WF A] State 3: Approver B = Rejected

[Sub WF A] State 4: Approver B = Approved

[Workflow X]State 5: Approve if Approver A & B = Approved

[Workflow X]State 6: Reject if Approver A or B = Rejected

Workflow X & Sub-Workflow A are running in parallel.

Approvals in both workflows must be complete before final approval can occur in Workflow X (State 5).

What is the difference between Synchronous & Asynchronous?

Synchronous: Parent workflow must wait for sub-workflow to complete.

Asynchronous: Parent workflow does not need to wait before continuing.

What is an example of joined fields on related records?

[SALES ORDER]

{Related Records}

Employee Fields <-------> Employee Record
