彭博数据服务 session 无法启动

Question

I do not have BBG terminal privileges, but I DO have an account with access to Data Services . I've successfully installed blpapi, tia and the SSH . Using code from https://github.com/msitt/blpapi-python/tree/master/examples , these 4 lines run in the anaconda console:

options = blpapi.SessionOptions()

options.setServerHost('localhost')

options.setServerPort(8194)

session = blpapi.Session(options)

session.start()
Out[12]: False

It seems the code is installed correctly. What are the possible reasons the session wont start?

Environment: Win 7, Python 3.7, Anaconda

Answer 1

Do you have any process running on local machine and listening on port 8194? Normally, you will need the local process bbcomm.exe running locally and listening on port 8194.
