Intelligence Exchange (BIX)</h6>
<div class="INNER">
<p>The optional <b>Business Intelligence Exchange</b> product extracts
data from your Process Commander applications and exports it in a format
suitable for use in popular business intelligence applications, such as
data warehouses. High-performance, multi-threaded extraction operations
operate independently of Process Commander, and can occur even when
Process Commander is not running.</p>
<p>BIX provides the extract functions of an ETL (Extract, Transform and
Load) utility, and can provide some portion of the transformation
functions.</p>
<p>This capability is provided by the <cite>Pega-BIX</cite> RuleSet,
which supports extract rules (<cite>Rule-Admin-Extract</cite> rule type).
<tt>5.5 GRP-446</tt> Although part of Process Commander V5.5 and later, a V5.5
system using BIX can extract data from a "foreign" PegaRULES
database that supports a V5.1 (or later) Process Commander system.</p>
<p>For more information on this capability, see <img src=

Business Intelligence Exchange product</i>.</p>
<p>BIX is one of four products in the Federated Business Frameworks,
introduced with V5.5.
BIX requires Process Commander V5.4SP3 or later.</p>
