IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

Allow initialisation using OPL of arrays within tuple sets

In OPL it is not possible to initialise an array which is within a set of tuples either through values or programmatically. An enhancement should be made to OPL to allow this. Consider: {string} Factors = {"a","b","c"}; tuple T_2 { key int i; int ...

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...

sin function in OPL

tuple breakpoint // y=f(x) { float x; float y; } sorted { breakpoint } breakpoints={<i,exp(2*sin(i))> | i in 70..135}; I am trying to code this while because of no sin function in OPL, I am not able to code this on OPL.

CPO interactive enhancement to write or query solution

CPO interactive misses some very useful command to simply query one solution value for a given variable with its name (allowing wildcards to display more variables) Today, the only way we can query a solution is through display solution command th...

Consistent handling for exportModel(), writeMIPStarts() , etc

The handling where methods like e.g. exportModel() and writeMIPStarts() is not consistent and not intuitive. In case no absolute path is specifies, exportModel() always writes the file parallel to the mod-file. Whereas writeMIPStarts(), while star...

OPL shall generate concert model with column API

OPL fails at building very large scale models due to the fact that it uses a "row api" of concert : Variables are created and added then to the range constraints. Unfortunately, such API can become dramatically slow for very large models, and buil...

Interface between CPLEX and FORTRAN

Since FORTRAN is one of the TOP20 programming languages in the TIOBE index (https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/), I suggest that IBM create mixed-integer linear programming models with CPLEX and FORTRAN. I have not found a library similar to Concer...
