Custom Tool Script Enhancements in SuiteScript

TL;DR

New custom tool script enhancements in SuiteScript provide improved functionality, including binary file support and the ability to execute SuiteScript 2.0 scripts as SuiteScript 2.1, enabling developers to leverage modern features in their scripts.

What’s New?

The latest updates to SuiteScript include significant enhancements aimed at improving scripting capabilities and user experience. Here are the key changes:

Binary File Support for N/https Module

The N/https module now supports binary file uploads, which allows for the transfer of binary files through HTTPS, rather than just textual data. This enhancement is crucial for applications that manage files, improving integration capabilities with external services.

New Preference to Use LIST for SFTP File Uploads

A new operational preference has been introduced for SFTP file uploads, enabling users to specify the use of LIST for retrieval actions, which can optimize interaction with SFTP servers and enhance the performance of file management tasks.

Execute SuiteScript 2.0 Scripts as SuiteScript 2.1

To streamline your development process, you can now execute existing SuiteScript 2.0 scripts as SuiteScript 2.1. This feature allows developers to take advantage of the improvements and new functionalities in SuiteScript 2.1 without modifying all their existing code.

N/http and N/https Now Supports PATCH Method

Both the N/http and N/https modules now include support for the PATCH HTTP method, enabling more flexible update capabilities for resources. This is particularly useful for developers who need to modify existing data without replacing it entirely.

Support for GPT-OSS Model in N/llm Module

The integration of the GPT-OSS model into the N/llm module allows developers to utilize advanced AI capabilities directly within NetSuite. This can enhance workflows, analytics, and other functionalities that benefit from machine learning insights.

Who This Affects
