Can Matlab compiled file which asks for bloomberg connection can be running withou data feed toolbox?

Hello,

I have a compiled file which connects to bloomberg data server when it is running. I need the data feed toolbox to write the source code to create .exe file. But once the .exe file is created, can it be running without the data feed toolbox?

Thank you very much,

The compiled application already incorporates functionality from the Datafeed Toolbox, however, you do need to have the Bloomberg API/license on the target machine.

Thanks a lot!

I have Bloomberg API on the target machine, but the compiled file still can not get data from Bloomberg. Shall I make some change in matlab files like classpath.txt? If the compiled file can be running without matlab, I think this change may not help...

Thank you very much,

You do need to add blpapi.jar to the Java class path. See Solution#1-CYKHGQ

I've added blpapi3.jar to classpath.txt. But when I run the compiled .exe file, it still can not get the Bloomberg data. As this is .exe file, I can not get the error message. Or maybe there is a way to know? (There should be no problem with the .exe file, because I can run it on another target machine)

Thanks a lot,

You should be able to see error messages - please run your executable from a command window and see if any errors are displayed there. If you are compiling as a Windows Standalone, add the -R -logfile option so that all errors are logged to a file.
