Processors provide a customizable URL endpoint that can execute arbitrary server-side JavaScript code and produce output such as TEXT, JSON, or HTML.

Typically, you create processors when you want a URL query to:

Perform non-standard record operations.
Contain complex logic as part of the API.
Act on multiple tables.
Create a logical API that can abstract implementation details.

	while (grDictionary.next()) {
		var currentTable = grDictionary.name.toString();
		var count = new GlideAggregate(currentTable);
		count.addAggregate('COUNT');
		count.query();
		if (count.next()) {
			g_processor.writeOutput(currentTable+ ' | '+ count.getAggregate('COUNT') + '\n');
