·2 min read·View Oracle Docs

TL;DR Opening

If your NetSuite setup uses numerous custom fields, you may encounter the error SyntaxError: Invalid String [at JSON.parse (native), at Object.getInputData during Map/Reduce scripting for the NetSuite Connector. This typically happens when the JSON file exceeds one million characters, leading to failures in syncing orders effectively.

To prevent this issue, it is crucial to reduce the volume of data synced concurrently.

How to Reduce Data Sync Volume

Lower the data load in your synchronization script configurations by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to Customization > Scripting > Scripts in your NetSuite dashboard.
  2. Locate the FA | MR Sync - Update FA script and click on Deployments.
  3. In the customdeploy_fa_mr_sync_update_fa row, select Edit.
  4. Open the Parameters tab.
  5. Adjust the Amount of Records to Sync Per MR Run field to 10.
    • Note: The default value is 20. If issues persist after reducing it to 10, continue to decrease it to 5. Should the problem still not resolve, contacting NetSuite Customer Support is advised.
  6. Click Save.

Key Error Message

  • The specific error encountered is: SyntaxError: Invalid String [at JSON.parse (native), at Object.getInputData. This indicates that the script is handling an excessively large JSON document.
