Running an Extract rule using a Pega 7 Platform agent

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.

The -i, -a, -p, -T, and -P command-line parameters are not supported for pxExtractDataWithArgs. The -X, -b, and -f command-line parameters cannot be used if pxExtractDataWithArgs is used on a Pega Cloud instance.

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.
