BIX Extracts Date formats are different for Command line vs App
SA-8476
Summary
When you run Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) 6.3 SP1 and extract data which includes date and datetime properties to an XML file; the property format output by BIX is different when you run via the command line versus running it from an extract rule in the application's user interface UI.
Example:
On UI:
<ValueDate>20150312</ValueDate>
On Command Line:
<ValueDate>2015-03-12</ValueDate>
Error Messages
Not Applicable.
Steps to Reproduce
Run BIX extraction on XML file from within the Pega Application and observe that date and datetime properties are not formatted correctly.
Root Cause
The root cause of this problem is a defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules. This problem is introduced with one of the hot fixes previously provided to BIX 6.3 SP1. When running from the UI the batch requestor is unauthenticated, and properties created in application rulesets do not have property information populated properly.
Resolution
This issue is resolved by hotfix item: HFix-21627 and functionally dependent HFix-20801
