bloomberg logout issue #27

Closed richardtbenade closed 6 years ago

richardtbenade commented 6 years ago

Hi there. I've been having issues using pdblp after being automatically logged out from bloomberg (main terminal). I often need to manually log back in in order to get pdblp to work. Is it possible to initiate a logon from pdblp?

Yes my understanding is that the services that pdblp connect to, e.g. //blp/refdata, also close when the terminal is logged out so you would need an active terminal connection. Since pdblp just wraps blpapi which does not provide a method to login to a terminal programmatically this is not possible.
