N/task Module in NetSuite: Schedule Script Tasks from SuiteScript

The N/task module lets you programmatically create and submit task requests — such as scheduling a Map/Reduce script, a Scheduled script, a CSV import, or a workflow — directly from SuiteScript code.

Scheduling a Map/Reduce Script

define(["N/task", "N/log"], (task, log) => {
  const mrTask = task.create({
    taskType: task.TaskType.MAP_REDUCE,
    scriptId: "customscript_my_mapreduce",
    deploymentId: "customdeploy_my_mapreduce",
    params: { custscript_batch_id: 12345 }
  });
  const taskId = mrTask.submit();
  log.audit("MR Task submitted", taskId);

  const status = task.checkStatus({ taskId });
  log.debug("Task status", status.status);
  return {};
});
