Once data elements are read once, adding a new data source has no effect. A warning that tells that adding a new data source after had no effect will help to debug. Here is an example. The observe problem was that no data where send to the databas...

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...

Enable the encoding to handle text files in ShiftJIS code.

There're a lot of ShiftJIs text files stored on Windows File System which we're going to crawl, but currently there's no way to change the encoding setting in WD(on CP4D), so all of them are garbled ( by default they are read as UTF-8 text). Pleas...

Allow bjobs command to show the pre and post exec exitStatus/exitCode information

Right now, we require bhist to get any detail on pre/post exec error codes, it would be nice if we could get this from the job record via bjobs vs. bhist. bhist in very large environments is a non-starter for obtaining this status information.

Human-readable status response

In the new multiobjective optimization support in CPLEX (Java API, but likely true in other APIs), querying status via IloCplex.getMultiObjInfo(IloCplex.MultiObjIntInfo.MultiObjStatus, ...) returns a numeric code (e.g. 107). This is difficult to i...
