Thanks, John. I found the other blpapi3.jar file and made sure I
specified that but then I got the following CONNECTION_FAILURE:
con.BBG <-
blpConnect(blpapi.jar.file="C:\\blp\\API\\APIv3\\JavaAPI\\v3.5.1.1\\lib\\blpapi3.jar")
R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26)
rJava Version 0.9-3
Rbbg Version 0.4-155
Java environment initialized successfully.
Adding C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI\v3.5.1.1\lib\blpapi3.jar to Java classpath
Error in .jnew("org/findata/blpwrapper/Connection", java.log.level) :
org.findata.blpwrapper.WrapperException: Session not started because:
CONNECTION_FAILURE

A typical Bloomberg SDK installation includes 2 blpapi3.jar files. They
are
not the same, and for use with Rbbg one is "right" and one is "wrong". On
my Windows box I have:
right file: C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI\v3.4.5.5\lib\blpapi3.jar
wrong file: C:\blp\API\blpapi3.jar
I don't know the details of Altaf's installation, but I imagine it looks
similar except that the root has been moved from C:\blp to C:\Program
Files\Bloomberg\bloomberg. If you can find the other jar file buried in
there you should be all set.

Hi,
It looks like you might have a class path issue, i.e., Java is not able
to
find your WAPI jar/Java classes.
I suggest that you double check that you have a blpapi3.jar file (or
similar) under C:\Program Files\Bloomberg\bloomberg\API, as that's the
required file.
If you do, I would then suggest that you point the blpapi.jar.file
variable
to the correct jar, e.g.:
blpConnect(blpapi.jar.file="C:\\Program
Files\\Bloomberg\\bloomberg\\API\\blpapi3.jar")
Hope it helps.

Thanks again Julien. The BBG isntallataion is centrally maintained
package by my company's IT support and so I don't really have any
over it and Bloomberg is so essential to my work (more, even than R)
don't really want to reinstall any part of it.
I will alert the maintainer of this package as you suggest (John
Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
