This sample demonstrates the use of the Spotfire Streaming Adapter for Bloomberg Server API and the Spotfire Streaming Adapter for Bloomberg B-Pipe.
Bloomberg B-Pipe is an embedded adapter that can connect to a Bloomberg B-Pipe process to subscribe to and get data from the process. The Adapter for Bloomberg Server API is an embedded adapter that can connect to a Bloomberg Server API process to subscribe to and get data from the process.
To run this sample, you must have a Bloomberg Managed B-Pipe or Server API server running. Please contact Bloomberg support to get the server installed.
