Usage of BBG_ROOT to cache data #37

Can you please explain how the caching is supposed to work?

I set up BBG_ROOT as environment variable. However, when using bdh("SPX Index", "px_last"), nothing will be cached. There are no files in my BBG-ROOT folder.

Only intraday bars (blp.bdib) will be cached.
