Processing Bloomberg Firm-Level Files

An ideal technique for processing Bloomberg's firm-level files is to set Ignored Target as the default. Then a filter should be configured to match segments for the necessary account numbers and route them to a secondary target, and likewise, another filter to match segments to account numbers that are unnecessary and route them to a Failed Target.

This way, new account numbers can be discovered using the reporting feature in Reporting & Message Tracking. Unconditional hit default target and Process all filters must be disabled from Filtering.

However, if you intend to set other Targets for your importer, click the exact target type to see how it is set up.
