BB2email.exe Utility

The BB2email.exe utility can convert Bloomberg emails (often referred to simply as ‘Bloombergs’) to Internet e‑mails (that is, EML files; this is the file format for Internet e‑mails).

The resulting EML files can then be imported directly into the CMS, or they can be sent to an Exchange mailbox (via the pickup folder) to await retrieval by a third party archiving solution.

In both cases, you can apply policy to the Bloomberg emails, either by importing them as an Import Policy job or by integrating CA DataMinder with your e‑mail archive solution and applying policy before the EML emails are archived.

Policy engines can recognize a converted EML file as ‘Bloomberg’ via the x-headers that BB2email.exe includes in each EML file. BB2email.exe preserves all user details in custom x-headers enabling them to be used as a basis for applying policy.

After an EML email has been processed by a policy engine, it is stored on the CMS as an ‘embedded Bloomberg email’ event and can be searched for (in the iConsole standard search) by specifying ‘Bloomberg Events’.
