Snippet to create a delay in a server side script

function setTimeout(aFunction, milliseconds){

var date = new Date();

date.setMilliseconds(date.getMilliseconds() + milliseconds);

while(new Date() < date){

}

return aFunction();

}

And Then Call it like this:

setTimeout(function(){ log.debug(‘Ran after 1 second’); }, 1000);

By incorporating this function into your code, you can simulate a delayed execution of a specified function after a given time period. However, it is advisable to explore more efficient and reliable alternatives for handling time-based operations in Netsuite’s server-side environment.
