Running a BIX extract in Designer Studio

To schedule an extract from within Designer Studio, create an agent that periodically invokes the pxExtractDataWithArgs activity to run a BIX Extract rule. This activity takes as arguments the class and name of the Extract rule to run and, as a single string, the list of BIX command-line parameters desired for each run.

Note: The agent must only be enabled on the dedicated node for BIX processing. This helps to avoid any negative performance impacts to production while the Extract rule is running.

See Setting optional command-line BIX parameters and About Agents rules for more information.

To run an extract from within a Pega 7 Platform application:

  1. From the Records Explorer, select SysAdmin > Extract and select the Extract rule that you want to use.
  2. On the rule form, click Run. The Run Rule form displays.

After the extract is complete, you can access the output data at the location (or locations, for XML output) that you specified in the File Specifications tab of the rule.
