Resolve race condition in CP optimizer engine

We've run into what seems to be a race condition in the cp optimizer engine with multiple workers. The issue occurs when a worker finds the initial solution right around the time limit. In this case, the engine believes that it timed out, but it a...

cpoptimizer interactive should display any var and expressions

CP Optimizer interactive should mimic CPLEX optimizer interactive for these two points 1. In Cp Optimizer command line, enable to display the value of an IloNumVar (floating point variables) and IloNumExpr2. enable write solution in a file

Time to Best

I want to put your attention on the optimization concept called "time to best" (ttb), i.e. the time needed by an optimization procedure to find the best solution regardless of the total time needed by its complete execution. Anyone working in the ...

Implement OPL as a DSL in F#

I think that it can be valuable to offer OPL as a DSL in .NET. This can be an easy (cheap) way to combine the best of OPL and of the Cplex .NET API in one language. This way OPL remain for the definition of the problem but the control flow will be...

Get CPLEX-version directly from ILOG-script

We have code that has to run under 12.7.1 and older version. Unfortunately the API for warm-start has changed. We have either vectors.setStart(cplex); // 12.7.1 or vectors.setVectors(cplex); // 12.6 OPL misses a nice way to access the version numb...

"If and only if" for indicator-constraints in MATLAB API

We use the CPLEX for MATLAB API to solve a MILP. In our case the bottleneck of the API is the limited functionality of indicator constraints. Whereas in OPL and the Java API an "if and only if" statement is possible, this functionality is missing ...

Implement piecewise linear features in Matlab API.

As for all the other APIs, it would be great to add to be able to describe PWLs with the new features introduced from 12.7.0, also in Matlab. The procedure to write several PWLs can become quite cumbersome for a large amount of constraints.

Ability to solve Python/docplex model in CPLEX Enterprise Server

This request is actually for CPLEX Enterprise Server, not CPLEX Optimization Studio, but CES was not an option in the list of products. Currently CES is only able to solve models implemented in OPL. We would like to be able to submit and solve app...

Excel or/and .ods connector in OPL IDE on all platform

On Linux or Mac the only way to import data in the IDE is to write a custom OPLscript to inport a CSV file.

Improve populate output

Currently (including the CPLEX 12.9 beta), the output from the populate method lists the number of solutions currently in the pool and the number of solutions "replaced". Use of the term "replaced" signals to the user that changes were made to the...
