Connect to the Bloomberg Server using the IP address of the machine running the Bloomberg Server. This example uses the Bloomberg Server C++ interface and assumes the following:

  • The Bloomberg UUID is 12345678.

  • The IP address for the machine running the Bloomberg Server is '111.11.11.111'.

c is a bloombergServer object.

uuid = 12345678;
ipaddress = '111.11.11.111';

c = bloombergServer(uuid,ipaddress);

Retrieve the Bloomberg connection properties.

v = get(c)
v = 

  struct with fields:

      session: [1×1 datafeed.internal.BLPSession]
    ipaddress: "localhost"
         port: 8194.00

v is a structure containing the Bloomberg session object, IP address, port number, and timeout value.

Close the Bloomberg connection.

close(c)

Connect to the Bloomberg Server using the IP address of the machine running the Bloomberg Server. This example uses the Bloomberg Server C++ interface and assumes the following:

  • The Bloomberg UUID is 12345678.

  • The IP address for the machine running the Bloomberg Server is '111.11.11.111'.

c is a bloombergServer object.

uuid = 12345678;
ipaddress = '111.11.11.111';

c = bloombergServer(uuid,ipaddress);

Retrieve the port number from the Bloomberg connection object by specifying 'port' as a character vector.

property = "port";
v = get(c,property)
v =

        8194

v is a double that contains the port number of the Bloomberg connection object.

Close the Bloomberg connection.

close(c)

Connect to the Bloomberg Server using the IP address of the machine running the Bloomberg Server. This example uses the Bloomberg Server C++ interface and assumes the following:

  • The Bloomberg UUID is 12345678.

  • The IP address for the machine running the Bloomberg Server is '111.11.11.111'.

c is a bloombergServer object.

uuid = 12345678;
ipaddress = '111.11.11.111';

c = bloombergServer(uuid,ipaddress);

Create a cell array properties with character vectors 'session' and 'port'. Retrieve the Bloomberg session object and port number from the Bloomberg connection object.

properties = ["session" "port"];
v = get(c,properties)
v = 

  struct with fields:

    session: [1x1 com.bloomberglp.blpapi.Session]
       port: 8194

v is a structure containing the Bloomberg session object and port number.

Close the Bloomberg connection.

close(c)
