[R-SIG-Finance] Bloomberg

[David Reiner]

You might try setting blpapi.jar.file = "full path to your jar file" in blpConnect.
This has at times worked for similar problems. I think the code tries hard to find
the file in standard places, but sometimes needs help.
(Haven't tries on 2.11.x yet though.)

Hi Jorge,

I think I ran into a similar issue that was solved by running the
Bloomberg API Diagnostics (in the Bloomberg folder in the Windows Start
Menu) and proceeding with the repairs.

Hope it works for you,

Olivier

        Hi,

        I am still in the configuration process of Rbloomberg and I am
having
        some problems.

        I installed   java 3

        C:\blp\API\APIv3\JavaAPI\v3.3.1.1\lib\blpapi3.jar

        I also installed rJava and Rbloomberg

        I suspect I am missing something related to "pointing" where
        "blpapi3.jar" is located.




        I run the following piece of code

        library(RBloomberg)
        conn <- blpConnect()
        bdp(conn, "AMZN US Equity", "NAME")
        proc.time()


        I get the following error.

        > library(RBloomberg)
        Loading required package: rJava
        > conn <- blpConnect()
        R version 2.11.1 (2010-05-31)
        rJava Version 0.8-5
        RBloomberg Version 0.4-142
        Error in .jinit() : cannot obtain Class.getSimpleName method ID
        >


        I was wondering if anyone has had simmilar error.  Any ideas of
how to
        fix it?

        Thanks,

        Jorge Nieves
