BIX Extract File Name
Hi Team,
We are using Pega cloud instance and generating the BIX extract by running pxExtractDataWithArgs OOTB activity in Job Scheduler.
It is creating zip format and and inside csv , we are looking for direct csv file in repo.Is there any way to get file directly in csv format?
Also file inside zip is getting generated in below format
ClassName_ExtractName_yyMMdd
We are looking for file name in below format
ExtractName_MMddyyyy
Is there way to update file name
Tried pyArgrs as MB_SRC_HDR_%d
Also tried in To file option in extract rule like MB_SRC_HDR %d
Both did not worked.
Please provide some solution
Thanks and Regards

By default, Pega generates BIX extract files in ZIP format, and there’s no direct setting to get only the CSV file in the repository. To work around this, you can create a custom Job Scheduler or activity that runs after the extract, opens the ZIP file, pulls out the CSV, and saves it back to the repo with the name you want. The extract rule doesn’t let you control the filename exactly, so using pyArgs or the “To file” field won’t help much. You’ll likely need to clone the pxExtractDataWithArgs activity and add logic to rename the file afterward. If you're using something like S3 or Azure, you can also use Repository APIs to move and rename the file once it’s extracted.
