Create an Extract rule to define the data to extract from your application using the Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) facility.

The Extract rule type is available when your ruleset includes the Pega-BIX ruleset. For more information on BIX, see PDN article About the Business Intelligence Exchange product.

An Extract rule is an instance of the Rule-Admin-Extract class. Extract rules belong to the SysAdmin category.

Extracting data from BIX

To extract data from within Pega Platform:

  1. Create a new Extract rule on the New tab.
  2. Specify the properties to be extracted on the Definition tab.
  3. Establish any filters for the data on the Filter Criteria tab.
  4. Specify the destination for the Extract rule on the File Specification tab.
  5. Run the Extract rule. For details on this step, see Running the command-line extract process, Running an Extract rule manually in Designer Studio, and Running an Extract rule using a Pega Platform agent.

The output data includes a time stamp and a batch identifier. These help when you want to compare information from different extracts or isolate information from a specific extract.
