SuiteScript Usage/Governance Limit Workaround

edited Dec 2, 2019 5:57PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 7 comments

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom "report" suitelet script to generate a CSV file containing rows where, for each row, thousands of usage units are required for calculating dependent columns/fields.  The usage is due to complex record line item and date-dependent formulas which do not seem remotely possible using Saved Search formulas (for example, any given row's values can depend on the values in 20 separate records).  The results also potentially change every day so it seems there is no point in pre-calculating and storing the results.

I am already using nlapiRequestURL() to offload calls that process each row to new suitelet instances (where response.write() is used for the formula result), so my script currently uses tens of thousands of usage units without a problem.

Howdy, Stranger!
