NetSuite Admin Tip | Use Execution Context to Control Script Runs
Scripts can run from different areas of NetSuite, such as the user interface, CSV imports, web services, scheduled processes, or other scripts. If a script should only run in certain situations, checking the execution context can help prevent unintended behavior.
Using execution context helps admins and developers control when script logic should continue and when it should be skipped.
Scenario
A script works correctly when a user edits a record in the NetSuite UI, but it should not run when records are updated by other processes.
Examples may include:
- CSV imports
- web services integrations
- scheduled scripts
- map/reduce scripts
- user event scripts triggered by another process
