Create a custom processor

You can create a custom processor to execute a script from a URL query. This feature is deprecated.

About this task

Note:

This feature is deprecated. While legacy, existing custom processors continue to be supported, creating new custom processors has been deprecated. Instead, use the Scripted REST APIs.

When complete, you will be able to:

• Create a new processor
• Run a script from a URL query

The following example steps assume you have your own demonstration instance.

Procedure

1. Navigate to All > System Definition > Processors.
2. Click New.
3. For Name, enter Hello.
4. For Type, select script.
5. For Path, enter Hello.
6. For Script, enter the following code.

   var name = g_request.getParameter("name");
   g_processor.writeOutput("text/plain", "Hello " + name);

7. Click Submit.
8. Logout of the instance and open a new browser window.
9. Enter a URL query to the instance with the following format: https://instance.service-now.com/processor_name.do?parameter=value.
   For example: https://<instance name>.service-now.com/Hello.do?name=world.
10. When prompted, enter credentials for valid user.
