Symbol normalization
For subscription to Bloomberg, a security must conform to the following syntax:
/[Topic Prefix]/SYMBOLOGY[@Pricing Source][Exchange] [Yellow Key]
Topic Prefix is one of the following:
ticker/cusip/wpk/isin/buid/sedol1/sedol2/sicovam/common/bsid/svm/cins/cats/bbgid
[SYMBOLOGY] | Is the symbol/ security of Exchange. |
[Exchange] | it is optional and is a two character mnemonic for the exchange where the security is traded. |
[Yellow Key] | it is the text equivalent of one of the Bloomberg yellow function keys. Govt/Corp/Mtge/M-Mkt/Muni/Pfd/Equity/Comdty/Index/Curncy/Client |
[Pricing Source] | it is provider's pricing for a specific security or for a universe of securities. |
You can configure the above fields by following control parameters of Connect stream:
for [Topic Prefix] | "TOPIC" |
for [Exchange] | "EXCHANGE" |
for [Yellow Key] | "YELLOW_KEY" |
for [Pricing Source] | "PRICING_SOURCE" |
If user does not specify value for [Topic Prefix] and [Yellow Key] then adapter set the default value as "ticker" and "Equity".
Example for Market date service:
If Symbol is "TT314347" and Connection CtrlParams as "YELLOW_KEY":"corp","PRICING_SOURCE":"UKRB", the subscription key is //blp/mktdata/ticker/TT314347@UKRB corp.
