Proposal for an Official CPLEX R Package for Seamless RStudio Integration

I’d like to suggest that IBM develop and maintain an official R package for the CPLEX solver. Today, R users must rely on a handful of hard-to-install third-party libraries, whereas competitors like Gurobi ship a polished “gurobi” package that ins...

new DBlink for cplex OPL optimization studio

Dear developers. I thought that this idea either was already posted or perhaps is considered inside other idea related with ODX, but anyway I do want to ensure that next enhancement to cplex optimization studio get done: until opl 12.6.3. the fetc...

IBM Z Common Data Provider template for the User Define SMF Record Type 249 cut by DVM

The customer is using IBM Z Common Data Provider (zCDP) to stream SMF records in real-time to their Splunk. zCDP provides policies for all the non user define SMF records, the SMF249 is a user define record, hence zCDP can't reference o it, so it ...

Ease call, edit, debug, and monitor OPL / CPLEX models within DSX

OPL is a much simpler way than Python for optimization modeling and today we provide only https://twitter.com/AlexFleischer1/status/909759411484274689 If we had a simpler way OPL / CPLEX customers could move their models to DSX and DSX data sc...

Calling external .NET code from OPL

Offers a way to interact with external code written in .NET from OPL.This feature would allow us to:• write a complex dedicated OR algorithm (such as a shortest path or flow algorithm) to be used as one step of a decomposed application• connect yo...

More consistent handling of .csv data when manually duplicating/creating scenarios

Problem statement/pain points: When creating a new scenario via duplicating an existing one manually (not using Python code), there appear to be currently two ways to make a change to input data in a table of the new scenario: 1) change data direc...

Ability to add/remove rows in "Input Data" tables in Model Builder

Use case: I duplicate a scenario in the "Scenarios" panel. The scenario I'd like to test involves adding/removing one data point, e.g. adding a new machine in the predictive maintenance model or taking that machine out of service by removing it. ...

Improve OPL Interfaces by providing dynamically typed API and a “façade” compatible with the .NET framework

Using OPL interface in .Net is cumbersome. Manipulate data elements object and result is far from being trivial.By example, instantiate an int look like that: OplDataSource dataSource = new MyCustomDataSource(oplF); internal class MyCustomDataSour...

OPL language enhancements : cannot slice with nested constraints on subTuples

I've been a happy user of OPL language, which has lots of wonderful features. However, there is one remaining recurrent issue in data modeling, which prevents some intuitive modeling. This is called "cannot slice with nested constraints on subTupl...
