Upgrading BIX
Upgrading BIX requires installing one ruleset. The new version of BIX can be installed on top of your existing version.
After upgrading BIX, you may need to:
-
Reconfigure your stand-along command-line environment:
- Download the BIX distribution archive and expand it into a directory.
- Configure a JVM environment with access to the Pega Platform jar files and the appropriate database driver files
- Configure the prconfig.xml, prbootstrap.properties, and prlog4j2.xml files provided in the configuration directory of the BIX distribution to specify the source and target databases and split schema setup. See Configuring the extraction environment.
-
Perform additional steps if you were using the Extract rule xml as input for
extracting the rules:
- Regenerate the pegarules.keyring file, if required.
- Copy the Extract rule xml to the appropriate path.
- Validate the ANT build file with the sample build file provided in the distribution package.
-
Update custom work tables if they do not have the
pxCommitDateTime
and
pxSaveDateTime
columns and are using
pxUpdateDateTime
for incremental
extracts. Incremental extracts are done using
pxCommitDateTime. See
BIX Performance
for
additional information.
- Update your work tables to include the new columns.
- Populate the new columns by running the resave utility.
