Hi Adam,

You did nothing wrong, I haven't yet posted RBloomberg binaries for R
2.14.0. I hope to get that taken care of soon, possibly this evening.

A 32-bit RBloomberg build for R 2.14.0 has been posted. It can be
installed by the usual process:

install.packages("RBloomberg", repos = "http://r.findata.org")

Please let me know if you experience any issues.

Hi!

I just tried the installation of Rbloomberg on R.14.0

The installation is apparently succesful (no error)

I can run the command: "library(Rbloomber)", and no error message appears.

However the command "conn <- blpConnect()" does not work. The console simply freezesand I have to kill R.

I am still using R.12.1 with a functioning Rbloomberg and I am deeply thankful to he developpers/maitainers.
Best!

Danilo

This is likely due to an old version of the API. You can upgrade in
Bloomberg using WAPI<GO>. That should work, but if it doesn't please
let me know where the blpapi3.jar file is located and I can update the
package to look in the right place.

Danilo,

What version of RBloomberg are you using with R 2.12? You can find
this out with a call to sessionInfo().
It is probably an old version that didn't use the Java version of the
Bloomberg API. If that is the case, you will need to upgrade (using
WAPI<GO>, as in my other message) and install the rJava package.

Hi John!
Below you can find the details about my R-2.12.1. There everything seems to work fine.
I am also sending you a screenshot of my R-2.14.0, where I downloaded the latest versions of Rbloomberg
and rJava. However there it does not work. I am sorry I do not completely understand your advice about
WAPI <GO> and upgrade: shoud I download and install a new "Bloomberg Desktop v3 API SDK"?

Many thanks!

Danilo,
I've managed to get RBloomberg working on R2.14 by downloading and installing the new Bloomberg Desktop v3 API SDK. The version of the Bloomberg API I have now is 3.4.3.2. Try with that, and it might work for you as well?
Cheers,
Murali
