Plug-ins

The generic database adapter supports the following plugins:

An optional plug-in for full topology synchronization.
An optional plug-in for synchronizing changes in topology. If no plug-in for synchronizing changes is implemented, it is possible to perform a differential synchronization, but that synchronization will actually be a full one.
An optional plug-in for synchronizing layout.
An optional plug-in to retrieve supported queries for synchronization. If this plugin is not defined, all TQL names are returned.
An internal, optional plug-in to change the TQL definition and TQL result.
An internal, optional plug-in to change a layout request and CIs result.
An internal, optional plug-in to change a layout request and relationships result.
An internal, optional plug-in to change the action of push Back IDs.
