Error Handling in SuiteScript Redire...

TL;DR Opening

SuiteScript includes functionality for error handling related to redirect actions, ensuring that developers can manage proper resource access and parameter validation effectively.

What is the Redirect Capability in SuiteScript?

The redirect feature in SuiteScript allows for the setting of a redirect URL that resolves to a resource within NetSuite, such as a new sales order page for specific entities. This function enhances user navigation through server scripts without the need for manual redirection.

Understanding Error Management

Error handling is crucial in ensuring that redirects occur smoothly. Below is a breakdown of common errors encountered with the redirect functionality:

Common Error Codes

Error Code	Message	Thrown If
`SSS_INVALID_RECORD_TYPE`	Type argument {type} is not a valid record or is not available in your account.	An invalid record type is provided when the redirect type is set to record.
`SSS_INVALID_SCRIPT_ID_1`	You have provided an invalid script id or internal id: {id}.	An invalid script ID or deployment ID is given for Suitelet or RESTlet types.
`SSS_INVALID_TASK_ID`	The task ID: {id} is not valid.	An invalid task ID is input for the task link type.
`SSS_INVALID_URL_CATEGORY`	The options.type: {type} is not valid.	An unrecognized string value is used in the `options.type` parameter.
`SSS_MISSING_REQD_ARGUMENT`	Missing a required argument: {param name}.	The required `options.identifier` or `options.type` parameter is not specified or misspelled in the script.

Syntax Example

The following code illustrates how to implement a successful redirect using SuiteScript:

suitescript

1// Sample SuiteScript for redirecting
2myServerResponseObj.sendRedirect({
3    type: http.RedirectType.RECORD,
4    identifier: record.Type.SALES_ORDER,
5    parameters: {entity: 8}
6});

This example redirects to the sales order record for the specified entity ID, utilizing the sendRedirect method.
