How Suitelet Scripts are Executed

The following steps and diagram provide an overview of the Suitelet execution process:

1. Client initiates an HTTP GET or POST request (typically from a browser) for a system-generated URL. A web request object contains the data from the client’s request. See N/http Module.
2. The user’s script is invoked, which gives the user access to the entire Server SuiteScript API as well as a web request and web response object.
3. NetSuite processes the user’s script and returns a web response object to the client. The response can be in following forms:

• Free-form text
• HTML
• RSS
• XML
• A browser redirect to another page on the Internet
• Important: You can only redirect to external URLs from Suitelets that have the Available Without Login preference enabled on the script deployment.
• A browser redirect to an internal NetSuite page. The NetSuite page can be either a standard page or custom page that has been dynamically generated using UI objects.

4.The data renders in the user’s browser.
