Testing

After you save an Extract rule, you can test the extraction.

  1. Click Run.
  2. Enter a unique identifier and the maximum number of records to extract.
  3. Click Perform Extract.
  4. Review the resulting data and log files.

Command-line execution

For more efficient operation, execute an Extract rule from a Windows or UNIX/Linux command-line. See the BIX user manual for details.

Exception handling

Executing BIX may result in errors or exceptions being reported. These exceptions may relate to syntax errors (in command-line execution), database constraint violations (when exporting to a database), or similar issues. See BIX logging and error handling.

Rule operation

Extract rules can operate on the BLOB column (Storage Stream) of tables in the PegaRULES database or they can be used to extract data from tables with no BLOB column. However, when a class table includes a BLOB (pzPVStream column), extraction always is performed from that BLOB value, and not from other database columns.

Forward and backward chaining during BIX extract

In the prconfig file, a setting governs whether forward and backward chaining are enabled during a BIX extract.
