Bloomberg Server connection V3
The blpsrv
function creates a blpsrv
object. The blpsrv
object represents a Bloomberg® Server connection.
Other functions connect to different Bloomberg services: Bloomberg Desktop (blp
), Bloomberg
B-PIPE® (bpipe
), and Bloomberg Data License (bdl
). For details about these services,
see Comparing Bloomberg Connections.
For details about Bloomberg connection requirements, see Data Server Connection Requirements. To ensure a successful Bloomberg connection, perform the required steps before executing
blpsrv
. For details, see Installing Bloomberg and Configuring Connections.
c = blpsrv(uuid,ipaddress,port,timeout)
also sets the
TimeOut property.
Caution:
To refer to a Bloomberg connection in other functions, use the connection object
created by the blpsrv
function. Otherwise, using
blpsrv
as an input argument opens multiple
Bloomberg connections, causing unexpected behavior and exhausting
memory resources.
