Our Client wants to move their application from on-premise to IBM Bluemix.

1) Are there any known compatibility issues/challenges in hosting Pega application provided all platform components are compatible with Pega version.

2)As we know in Pega cloud, below mentioned restrictions are there w.r.t. BIX. Is the same applicable when we are moving to any other cloud like IBM cloud, AWS etc.?

Please confirm, Regards Arpita

There are three key differences between a customer running BIX on-site versus running BIX on a Pega Cloud instance:

•Output format options for extracted data are limited to either XML or CSV files. Writing extracted data directly to a database is not supported on the cloud.

•BIX cannot be run from an external command-line process.

•Direct access to the Pega Cloud server file system is not allowed, and the extracted files must be transported to a customer FTP site. All extracted files from a BIX run are compressed and delivered as a single ZIP file whose name consists of classname, extractname and sequence number.
