Transport configuration

Capital Markets Adapters 10.11 | Apama Capital Markets Adapters Documentation 10.11 | Bloomberg B-PIPE Adapter | Transport configuration

To configure the transport, make a copy of the Bloomberg_BPIPE.xml.dist configuration file (for example, copy to Bloomberg_BPIPE_PROD.xml) and edit the copy as described. All user-configurable parameters are marked with @PARAMETER_NAME@ text in the template configuration. No other part of the transport configuration file should be changed.

Set the parameters in the IAF configuration file:

Parameter	Description
BPIPE_TRANSPORT	Replace "@BPIPE_TRANSPORT@" in the <transport> element with the name of the transport instance.
BPIPE.API (@BPIPE_CLIENT_MODE@)	Name of the transport instance.
BPIPE.Host and BPIPE.Port (@BPIPE_HOST@ & @BPIPE_PORT@)	Host name and IP address of Bloomberg to connect.

For Server Mode

BPIPE.uuid(@BPIPE_UUID@)

Set user identify (UUID) of BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service(BPS).

BPIPE.ipAddress(@BPIPE_IP_ADDRESS@)

The IP address of the host where that user logs to the BLOOMBERG PROFESSIONAL service.

Code snippet to add in transport parameter properties to Enable Server Mode:

<property name="BPIPE.uuid" value="@BPIPE_UUID@" />
<property name="BPIPE.ipAddress" value="@BPIPE_IP_ADDRESS@" />

where @BPIPE_UUID@ and @BPIPE_IP_ADDRESS@ are replaced with UUID and IP address respectively.
