Introduction

Similar to extracting data and preparing a dataset for use in a Process Mining on-premises (standalone) Discovery Accelerator, you must extract data from the source system and create a dataset for use in Process Mining on-premises (Automation Suite). This page describes how you can extract data from your source system for use in Process Mining (Automation Suite) using DataBridgeAgent.DataBridgeAgent is used to extract data from the source system, and exports .tsv files. These .tsv files are loaded into the Microsoft SQL Server database using CData Sync. See the illustration below for an overview of the data flow.

Important:

Only use DataBridgeAgent if you have a custom .mvp connector. Otherwise, use CData Sync, Theobald Xtract Universal for SAP, or files to upload data.
