GQI extensions

There are currently two ways to extend the Generic Query Interface:

• An ad hoc data source is an external data source that can be used to create a GQI query. The Get ad hoc data data source retrieves external data based on an Automation script that is compiled as a library.

• A custom operator (supported from DataMiner 10.3.0 [CU10]/10.4.1 onwards) can be created to perform specific tasks on data within a query. These tasks might be unique to your needs and cannot be done with the standard query operators available.
