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 can do the following tasks:

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

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