If Custom Action loads active record WF fails on itself

edited Dec 2, 2019 3:40PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

We've all seen it happen and it ain't pretty.

Likewise performing an operation in a custom Script Action that causes the active record to be loaded can cause the WF manager to fall apart.

I've been researching why I was receiving logs like this:


26-MAR-2012 15:31:05.327 Initiated workflow
26-MAR-2012 15:31:05.372 Running ONENTRY trigger(Original trigger: SCHEDULED)
26-MAR-2012 15:31:05.390 Enter Scheduled Order Release
26-MAR-2012 15:31:06.099 Running BEFORELOAD trigger
26-MAR-2012 15:31:06.116 Running ONEXIT trigger
26-MAR-2012 15:31:06.117 Transitioning to Complete



Line #4 is where the problem is, the BEFORELOAD trigger should not be fired (IMHO).  It's being caused by a call to nlapiPrintRecord() which I imagine behind the scenes is loading the record that is active in the workflow.  The WF manager then detects this and switches context to deal with the new trigger.
