Execute nlapiSetRedirectURL() from a client side script

1) Create a suitelet which contains the nlapiSetRedirectURL() function:

 function mySuitelet (request,response){
  nlapiSetRedirectURL('RECORD', 'contact', '4', true);
 }

2) Deploy the suitelet and note the script id and deployment id of the suitelet.

3) Use the ids inside a client side script which contains the client_requestSuitelet() function: 

function client_requestSuitelet()
{
   var url = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript57', 'customdeploy5');
   document.location=url;
}

The above code redirects the user to a particular record type with a particular record id, both of which are hard-coded inside the suitelet. If you do not wish to hard code these values, then use the code below for a more dynamic way of passing the values to the suitelet.
 

function client_requestSuitelet()
{
   var url = nlapiResolveURL('SUITELET', 'customscript57', 'customdeploy5') + '&entity=' + nlapiGetRecordId() +  '&recordType=' + nlapiGetRecordType();
   document.location=url;
}

 

function mySuitelet (request,response)
{
  var recType = request.getParameter('recordType');
  var recId = request.getParameter('entity');
  nlapiSetRedirectURL('RECORD', recType, recId, true);
}
