Bloomberg communications are captured in XML dump files.  These dump files can contain multiple messages in each file.  There are two options that can be used to archive the XML dump files.


Option 1
Use Enterprise Vault File System Archiving (FSA) to archive the .xml files which are searchable through Archive Explorer.  
Note: This will return the entire .xml file instead of the individual message contained in the file.

Option 2
Note: This option will have to be used if using Compliance Accelerator (See Related Documents)

Use a third-party utility such as Merge1 to convert the Bloomberg XML dump files to MSG format and process through the Journal mailbox.
