Create a simple processor to execute a script from a URL query. This feature is
deprecated.

## Before you begin

You must have your own demonstration instance.

Role required: admin

## 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](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/x1EOw4mDLxo1z7QG_tlNhQ "The scripted REST API feature allows application developers to build custom web service APIs.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllSystem DefinitionProcessors.
2. Select New.
3. Enter the following information.

   | Field | Value |
   | Name | Hello |
   | Type | Script |
   | Path | Hello |
   | Script | var name= g_request.getParameter("name"); g_processor.writeOutput("text/plain","Hello "+name); |
   |-|-|

4. Select Submit.
5. Enter a URL query to the instance with the following format: `https://instance.service-now.com/processor_name.do?parameter=value`  
   For example: `https://<instancename>.service-now.com/Hello.do?name=world`.
