This page explains how to install and set up the Bloomberg EMRS feed handler.

Download the Bloomberg EMRS feed handler from the KX downloads portal.

Download the Bloomberg EMRS feed handler

# Add the Kx helm repo
helm repo add kx https://portal.dl.kx.com/assets/helm --username <INSERT_EMAIL> --password <INSERT_BEARER_TOKEN>

Install the Bloomberg EMRS feed handler

The Bloomberg Entitlements accelerator contains a configuration that is used when installing the Bloomberg EMRS feed handler, ensuring the feed correctly connects to the accelerator. Unpack the accelerator kxi file to view and update the config file as necessary:

# Unpack the accelerator
kxi package unpack fsi-app-bbg-entl-1.0.0.kxi

# View the config file
cat fsi-app-bbg-entl/config/feed/emrs-feed-values.yaml

Update the configuration file fsi-app-bbg-entl/config/feed/emrs-feed-values.yaml. The following values should be updated as a minimum:

  • imagePullSecrets - the name of the secret used to pull images from portal.dl.kx.com.
  • bpipe - bpipeUsersDetailPair - the subscription string of user/IP pairs which are of interest.
  • bpipe - bpipeEids - the eid values of interest.

Install the feed handler using your updated config file:

# Install using updated config file.
helm install rt-bpipeeid-pub ./rt-bpipeeid-pub -f fsi-app-bbg-entl/config/feed/emrs-feed-values.yaml

The Bloomberg Entitlements accelerator should be running before the feed handler is installed to ensure the feed correctly connects to the accelerator

Stopping the Bloomberg B-Pipe feed handler

The Bloomberg B-Pipe feed-handler is stopped using a helm uninstall command:

helm uninstall rt-bpipeeid-pub
