Configuring the extraction environment

Before you run a BIX Extract from the command line, several configuration files must be updated to specify the source and target databases, configure logging, configure the database holding the engine code,and set up split schema. Additionally, you can create a pegarules.keyring file to support encryption of the database password that must be supplied with the database connection settings in prconfig.xml.

Before you begin: This functionality is available when you purchase and install the BIX application on a split-schema system.

Before using BIX, ensure that the BIX version you are using matches the installed Pega Platform version. Versions might not match after you update or upgrade the Pega Platform because updates and upgrades do not automatically update add-on products such as BIX. Refer to the BIX User Guide on Pega Community for instructions on upgrading BIX.

Complete the following tasks to set up a BIX Extract process to run from the command line.
