DataBridgeAgent
DataBridgeAgent is a standalone package that can be used to extract data from your source system to the blob storage for use in Process Mining Automation Suite. It contains the Process Mining on-premises (stand-alone) build and the on-premises .mvp connector used to prepare the dataset. Currently, the following on-premises .mvp connectors are included in DataBridgeAgent:
- SAP Connector for Purchase-to-Pay Discovery Accelerator; See Using DataBridgeAgent with SAP Connector for Purchase-to-Pay Discovery Accelerator.
- SAP Connector for Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator; See Using DataBridgeAgent with SAP Connector for Order-to-Cash Discovery Accelerator.
If you want to use your own custom .mvp connector, you can add it to DataBridgeAgent. In this case, you need to configure DataBrigdeAgent for use with your connector. See Adding a custom connector to DataBridgeAgent.
DataBridgeAgent automatically converts input field names to lowercase and special characters to underscores. If you use DataBridgeAgent to load data, make sure to edit the transformations of your process app and set all input fields to lowercase. For example: {{ pm_utils.to_varchar('Cases_base_raw."Case_ID"') }} as "Case_ID", must be changed to {{ pm_utils.to_varchar('Cases_base_raw."case_id"') }} as "Case_ID",.
Difference from an on-premise installation
DataBridgeAgent is different from an on-premise (stand-alone) installation since it:
- is a command-line tool, and therefore does not have a user interface;
- does not require a separate license;
- does not require IIS.
note
The DataBridgeAgent already includes the connectors. You do not need to download and deploy the connector itself.
