Running an Extract rule manually in Designer Studio

You can run a BIX extract manually from within a Pega 7 Platform application.

1. From the Records Explorer, select SysAdmin > Extract and select the Extract rule that you want to use.
2. On the rule form, click Run.
• For CSV and XML output:
  1. Provide the Number of Records to Update at a Time. To run the extract in non-batch mode for a single record at a time, set the number of records to update at a time to 1.
  2. Provide a Unique Identifier for the extract.
  3. Click Perform Extract to begin extracting data from your application. A progress bar informs you when the extract is complete.
• For an extract to a database:
  1. Provide the Number of Records to Update at a Time. To run the extract in non-batch mode, a single record at a time, set the number of records to update at a time to 1.
  2. Provide a Unique Identifier for the extract.
  3. The first time that you run the extract, select the Generate Schema DDL check box and provide a location and a name to be used when saving the DDL.
  4. Click Perform Extract to generate the DDL and save it in the specified location. Run the generated DDL manually in the required database to create the table.
  5. The next time you run the Extract, clear the Generate Schema DDL check box. Click Perform Extract to begin extracting data from your application into the created table. A progress bar informs you when the extract is complete.

After the extract is complete, you can access the output data at the location (or locations, for XML output) that you specified in the File Specifications tab of the rule.
