Question about BIX, Is there any other Pega solution that can replace BIX?
Hello All,
In our program, we need to extract data from Pega DB for Enterprise reporting and business intelligence analysis.
We know BIX is a solution provided by Pega. BIX has been there for a long time. Our question is:
1) Is there any newer solution developed by Pega or recommended by Pega that may replace BIX?
2) What is the known limitiation or issue of BIX, if there is any?

@YiningL0 - If the attributes in your case type is not exposed and is available within BLOB, then BIX plays an important role. BIX can read the data from the BLOB and then extract it in the available formats(CSV, XML, Database Schema).
If the data is readily exposed in the Pega DB then the same can directly used for reporting.
Based on your business requirement, the extract rules can be configured. You can also manipulate on how you want to extract the data using the extract rules based on business requirements.

Hello,
We are actively collecting feedback about BIX to plan for future upgrades and/or more major replacement.
BIX definitely may require proper configuration, execution scheduling and sometimes partitioning of the data / db schema optimisations. The main limitations that requires additional attention are related to the retrieval of last updated changes and performance tuning that is related to the direct use of database to extract data
