Ad hoc data sources

Each ad hoc data source for GQI is defined in an Automation script library by a C# class that implements specific interfaces. Every time GQI requires information from the ad hoc data source, it will create a new instance of that class and call the relevant life cycle methods.

Tip

To learn more about what you can do with ad hoc data sources, we highly recommend watching Empower Replay: Create your own GQI data source.

Important

To reduce complexity and maintainability, only create an ad hoc data source if it is not possible to use the built-in data sources and operators for the purpose you have in mind.
