SuiteCloud Processors Basic Architecture
SuiteCloud Processors currently supports the processing of scheduled scripts and map/reduce scripts. Each submitted scheduled script instance (task) is handled by one job. Each submitted map/reduce script task is handled by multiple jobs: one each for the getInput, shuffle, and summarize stages; and a minimum of one each for the map and reduce stages.
Scheduled script tasks and map/reduce script tasks are submitted for processing in one of three ways:
-
By setting a one-time or recurring submission schedule from the script deployment record UI.
-
By selecting Save and Execute from the script deployment record UI to submit an on-demand instance of the script.
-
By using a SuiteScript API to submit an on-demand instance of the script.
To submit scheduled script tasks and map/reduce script tasks for processing, the role used to submit the tasks must have the following permissions:
-
Documents and Files: View, Create, Edit, or Full
-
SuiteScript: View, Create, Edit, or Full
-
SuiteScript Scheduling: Full
For more information about access levels for permissions, see Access Levels for Permissions.

The scheduler sends the jobs to the processor pool in a particular order. This order is determined by the SuiteCloud Processors Priority Levels and the order of submission. Jobs with a higher priority are sent before jobs with a lower priority. Jobs with the same priority go to the processor pool in the order of submission.
SuiteCloud Processors includes advanced settings that can also impact the order in which jobs are sent to the processor pool. For more information, see SuiteCloud Processors Priority Elevation and Processor Reservation (Advanced Settings).
