Customization Performance Portlets...

TL;DR Opening

Customization Performance Portlets allow users to monitor performance metrics of NetSuite customizations, including user event scripts and workflows. Through these portlets, developers can identify performance bottlenecks and enhance the efficiency of scripts and workflows.

What are Customization Performance Portlets?

Customization Performance Portlets are tools available on the Action History Detail page that provide insights into the performance of your customizations in NetSuite. If you have the Application Performance (APM) SuiteApp installed, you can access performance metrics and detailed views through links to Profiler Details and SuiteScript Analysis pages.

User Event Scripts Performance

The User Event Scripts portlet offers detailed performance data specifically for user event scripts. This can assist developers in detecting long-running scripts that may affect performance. The following metrics are displayed:

Metric	Description
Date and Time	The timestamp when the script began execution.
Total Duration	Total runtime of user event scripts associated with the action.
Record Type	The type of record the script operates on (e.g., Customer).
Event	The specific action occurring in the script (e.g., `AfterSubmit`).
Script Name	Clickable link to the script record.
Function	Name of the function executed by the script.
SuiteApp	Identifies if the script is tied to a SuiteApp.
Operations	Count of record operations executed by the script.
Profiler Details	Link to view detailed profiling information.
SuiteScript Analysis	Link to access script performance analysis over time.

Important: Access to Profiler Details and SuiteScript Analysis requires the Application Performance (APM) SuiteApp.

Workflows Performance

The Workflows portlet provides performance metrics for workflows within NetSuite. This information is crucial for understanding how custom workflows impact system performance. Here's what it tracks:

Metric	Description
Date and Time	Timestamp when the workflow begins execution.
Total Duration	Duration the workflow took to complete.
Record Type	Associated record type, such as Customer.
Entry Point	The initial entry point used in the workflow script.
Workflow Name	Clickable link to open the workflow page.
SuiteApp	Indicates if the workflow is included in a SuiteApp.
Profiler Details	Link to gather performance data on the workflow.

Important: The Application Performance (APM) SuiteApp must be enabled to view Profiler Details.

Custom Client Script URL Requests Performance

This portlet shows data from client scripts that operate in the browser, often for form events or user data validation. The metrics available include:

Metric	Description
Date and Time	Timestamp when the request was processed.
Total Duration	Total time taken for the client script request to process.
Client Script URL	Shows the request URL for the client script.

Conclusion

Utilizing these portlets enables administrators and developers to keep a close eye on the custom scripts and workflows that drive their NetSuite environment. By leveraging performance data, organizations can make informed decisions to optimize their customizations, thus enhancing system efficiency and user experience.
