Steps to Reproduce

Run BIX extraction from command line.

Root Cause

A defect or configuration issue in the operating environment

The class files that are not found in the above exceptions are part of the Pega database and are extracted on the local filesystem of BIX execution during runtime.
net.sf.saxon.TransformerFactoryImpl is part of /ExtractedFiles/apploader/saxon9he.jar
and
org/bouncycastle/jce/provider/BouncyCastleProvider is part of /extractedFiles/baseloader/java6/bcprov-jdk15on-149.jar.
The folder "extractedFiles" is created on the filesystem relative to the location given in prbootstrap.properties for "com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.tempdir" property.

Resolution

Perform the following local-change: Make sure multiple BIX processes use unique values for "com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.tempdir" property. The issue occurs when multiple BIX processes are run concurrently and are trying to access the same "com.pega.pegarules.bootstrap.tempdir" location.
