Question

I have a large product list and need to generate a static file of it, and have that file be accessible in my website. Currently, I generate the list, and upload it to the file cabinet. I wish to automate this process. I would like to schedule a SuiteScript to run each night and generate this list and update a file in the file cabinet.

Can this be done?

thanks

You can automate this process with SuiteScript. You would use the nlapiLoadFile and nlapiSubmitFile calls to accomplish it. If you have a large product list you are likely to encounter a few other issues. You are likely to hit governance limits and will need to develop this script so that it tracks progress and reschedules itself appropriately. SuiteScript searches will only return the first 1000 records. If you have more than 1000 items to include in this file, you will likely need to use a flag on the item record to track which items remain for export. There is currently a 5MB limit on the file size when loading or creating files using SuiteScript.
