Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) is an optional add-on product consisting of a ruleset and a stand-alone Java program that can be run from a command line. BIX provides the extract functions of an ETL (extract, transform, and load) utility by using the Pega-BIX ruleset, which supports the Rule-Admin-Extract rule type.
You can also run BIX extracts manually in the Designer Studio. Data can be output as XML or Comma Separated Value (CSV) formats
When BIX runs as a standalone Java program outside of the Pega 7 Platform, the server that BIX runs on must be able to access the Pega 7 Platform database(s) from which data will be extracted. The following diagram shows a typical deployment architecture for BIX.
