How to access/install Pega BIX?
Want to use Pega BIX for publishing data for reporting to external database. Do i need to install Pega BIX seperately? will it come with standard PRPC?

Hi,
When BIX runs as a standalone Java program outside of the Pega Platform, the server that BIX runs on must be able to access the Pega Platform database(s) from which data will be extracted.
Need to install the BIX using the following the procedure in the BIX user guide in following link : https://community.pega.com/system/files/pdfs/BIX%207.3.1%20User%20Guide.pdf

Hi Venkata,
Thanks for posting on PSC.
Business Intelligence Exchange (BIX) is an optional add-on product consisting of a ruleset and a standalone Java program that can be run from a command line. BIX provides the extract functions of an ETL (extract, transform, and load) utility by using the Pega-BIX ruleset, which supports the Rule-AdminExtract rule type. Data is extracted and exported in a format suitable for use in popular business intelligence applications, such as data warehouses. High-performance, multi-threaded extraction operations operate independently of the Pega Platform, and can occur even when the Pega Platform is not running.
Please check the pre-requisite.
Hope it answers your query, kindly notify by marking this post as answered for larger Pega audience and tracking purposes.

BIX is available as part of the Pega 7 distribution image in the "additional products" folder. Please use the BIX image packaged with the version of Pega 7 that you are using.
