Get the list of records to which a file is Attached - netsuite

Question

I want to get the list of all the records(whether it may be entity record, transaction record or any other record) to which a single file is attached from the file cabinet in Netsuite. Is there any way to do so??

Answer 1

I believe the saved search approach is the best way. But I don't think you can do it by creating a Document saved search. I think you have to create an entity saved search, a transaction saved search, etc, and then put in the file ID into the criteria filter's "File fields..." internal ID field.
Having to create a saved search for each record type is a bit clunky, but if you have SuiteScript experience it helps if you have the "NetSuite: Search Export" chrome extension. You can create one saved search on the front-end and then use that extension to "Export as script" the one saved search and try to reproduce its criteria for each record type that you are interested in linking to the one file.

Let suppose you want to search a file for a Salesorder. You need to do it separate for entity, transaction etc, remove type and id for all records search.
Here is an example in 2.0.
var salesorderSearchObj = search.create({
type: "salesorder",
filters:
[
["type","anyof","SalesOrd"],
"AND",
["internalid","anyof",12345],
"AND",
["taxline","is","F"],
"AND",
["cogs","is","F"],
"AND",
["shipping","is","F"],
"AND",
["mainline","is","T"]
],
columns:
[
search.createColumn({
name: "trandate",
sort: search.Sort.ASC,
label: "Date"
}),
search.createColumn({
name: "internalid",
join: "file",
label: "Internal ID"
}),
search.createColumn({
name: "url",
join: "file",
label: "URL"
}),
search.createColumn({
name: "url",
join: "lineFile",
label: "URL"
})
]
});
var searchResultCount = salesorderSearchObj.runPaged().count;
salesorderSearchObj.run().each(function(result){
var fileId = result.getValue({
name: "internalid",
join: "file",
label: "Internal ID"
});
var fileObj = file.load({id: fileId});
return true;
});
