Re: [R] [R-SIG-Finance] Problem with RBloomberg (not the usual one)

Sergey,

Sorry I missed your post earlier.  I had this same problem and I reinstalled 
the DDE Server and Excel Add-In, rebooted and it fixed it.  I thought they were 
already installed as I could pull down data in Excel from Bloomberg, but 
reinstalling them fixed my R problem.  You can find the downloads at 
http://about.bloomberg.com/contact_softwaresupport_upgr.html

Good luck.

Kent

Hello, again, everyone

I went through the code and narrowed down the problem

in blpConnect:
COMCreate(Bloomberg.Data.1) which then calls getCOMInstance does not work, 
because
getCLSID(Bloomberg.Data.1) returns
Fehler: Invalid class string

What is this problem???

Best,
Sergey

 Hello, everyone!

 I have a problem with RBloomberg and this is not the usual no 
 administrator rights problem.

 I have R 2.7.2, RBloomberg 0.1-10, RDCOMclient 0.92-0

 RDCOMClient, chron, zoo, stats: these packages load OK.

 Then, trying to connect, I get following error message:


  conn - blpConnect(show.days=week, na.action=previous.days,
 periodicity=daily)
 Warning messages:
 1: In getCOMInstance(name, force = TRUE, silent = TRUE) :
  Couldn't get clsid from the string
 2: In blpConnect(show.days = week, na.action = previous.days, 
 periodicity = daily) :
  Seems like this is not a Bloomberg Workstation:  Error : Invalid 
 class string

 Anyone encountered this problem?
 What is wrong and how can I solve it?

 Online, I found just one instance of this problem discussed, and it 
 was in Chinese:

 Thank you for your help!

Hi, Kent

Thank you for that!
I'll pass the info to our systems administrator, he is the only one
who is allowed to do things like that.

Have a nice weekend!

Best,
Serge
