Background
We all knows that: NetSuite filecabinet provided a feature to download a folder to a zip file.
Sample URL in the link: https://system.na1.netsuite.com/core/media/downloadfolder.nl?id={folderid}&_xt=&_xd=T&e=T
Example: https://system.na1.netsuite.com/core/media/downloadfolder.nl?id=68&_xt=&_xd=T&e=T
Used property login access to NetSuite account, by access this url address, browser will working on downloading a zip file.
Currently I don't think we can create a zip file through SuiteScript APIs(even the file.save available to save a zip file);
Solution
Base on this behavior, we can do below in the server-side script:
- Create a folder.
Create files in this/above folder.
Call NetSuite URL to get the zip file.
By doing this we got a chance to create and download zip files in SuiteScript.
Note: Step #3, Can do this action in Client Side with existing credential, or Server-Side provide credential.
