Loading data using DataBridgeAgent
DataBridgeAgent is only needed if you are migrating from an on-premises stand-alone Process Mining version.
.mvp
connector. Otherwise, use CData Sync, Theobald Xtract Universal for SAP, or files to upload data.
Using a proxy server is not supported for loading data using DataBridgeAgent.
Always make sure that the data is in the required input format for the app template. See App Templates. This can be done either in the Data transformations, or by renaming the output fields of the on-premises stand-alone connector (.mvp).
Similar to extracting data and preparing a dataset for use in a on-premises (stand-alone) Discovery Accelerator, you must extract data from the source system and create a dataset for use in Process Mining. This page describes how you can extract data from your source system for use in Process Mining using DataBridgeAgent.

Use the following link to download DataBridgeAgent: https://download.uipath.com/ProcessMining/versions/21.10.3/DataBridgeAgent/DataBridgeAgent-21.10.3.zip
.mvp
connectors of a Process Mining on-premises standalone version that is the same version as the DataBridgeAgent. (v2021.10.3).
DataBridgeAgent is a standalone tool. It is recommended to create a separate folder on the server to use DataBridgeAgent.
C:\
drive. Since DataBridgeAgent contains connectors that have rather long names, file paths can become very large, which may cause issues when running the
datarun.bat
file to create the dataset.

). Also, do not install DataBridgeAgent in the Downloads folder.
.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.
.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",.
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.
See System requirements.
To be able to upload the data to Process Mining Automation CloudTM Public Sector you need to have the Shared Access Signature (SAS) uri of the Azure blob storage to which the extracted data needs to be uploaded. See Retrieving the credentials for the Azure blob storage.
If you want to use data directly from your SAP system in Process Mining Automation CloudTM Public Sector you must set up the SAP extraction before you can use DataBridgeAgent. See Set up Native SAP Extraction for a detailed description.
.csv
files always make sure that:
- a separate
.csv
file is available for each table. - the file names of the
.csv
files are the same as the names of the input tables of the connector. - all the fields used in Process Mining are present in the
.csv
file. - the fields in the
.csv
files have the same names as the field names used in Process Mining column.
The CSV settings can be defined in the CSV parameters of the DataBridgeAgent.
If you want to use data from an external data source via an ODBC connection, make sure that the required ODBC driver is installed on the server.
A Credential store allows you to use passwords without showing the actual password. See Set up a Credential Store for a detailed description.
By default, an encrypted credential store is used. See Setting up an encrypted file-based credential store for more information.
