nlapiGetContext questions

edited Dec 2, 2019 6:26PM in SuiteCloud / Customization 9 comments

Need to understand the syntax and return for some things using the context api. Documentation is insufficient in this area.

1. Returning the session. I see to use getSetting('SESSION',name) but there is nothing defined for what name should be. Can anyone help with finishing this call?

2. Getting the role center. I see to use getRoleCenter() which by the docs says "returns the internalId of the currently logged in user's center type (role center)", however I can not find any documentation or location where I can find the role center internal ids. In other words, how to decipher the returned value into anything meaningful. Does someone have the list of role center IDs or can point me to where I could find them?

Howdy, Stranger!
