Add doopl in the CPLEX distribution on Watson Studio

relying on docplex python API got much easier since docplex was included in the CPLEX product. doopl which is a python package that allows to call OPL model from python code can be download from https://pypi.org/project/doopl/ but having doopl in ...

Use container / cgroup cores when automatically picking threads

Currently, when auto selecting the number of threads, it looks like cplex uses the number of cpu cores. That doesn't work for containers that are cpu limited using cgroups, as the number of threads will be equal to the host machine's cpu core coun...

Custom graphs in cyclops/webconsole

As NzPortal no longer supports the new platforms we are forces to switch to the cyclops web console which does not support adding custom graphs which we could do in NzPortal. Adding this functionality shouldn't be a lot of work and would provide f...

Enhance .NET API for maps

When attempting to use the reflection mechanism of OPL CPLEX API under .NET (version 12.9 but same problem seen in documentation of latest version), I stumble upon an error on my first implementation of a missing method "NbDim" for the map class "...

ODBCUpdate function needed

On the recent versions of cplex we have functions like ODBCRead and ODBCPublish for data management on Data bases engines, but it is also necessary to have a function like ODBCUpdate which corresponds to the old one DBUpdate function which allows ...

Add TDNoOverlap constraint type to CP Optimizer

The TDNoOverlap constraint type is presented in chapter 7 of the Ph.D. thesis "A Constraint Programming Approach for the Time Dependent Traveling Salesman Problem", by Penelope Aguiar-Melgarejo https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01514369/documen...

Superior approximation algorithm for finding Maximum (or large) Cliques in very large graphs. (Multi-Partite Graphs can be found)

Our maximum clique finding algorithm (that is polynomial in its run time) and which seems (from DIMACS benchmark tests) to run better than other methods that are presently available would be beneficial to IBM because it would allow you to solve co...

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 ...

saving data with a mouse-click instead of writing code through JDBC connector in CSV or other formats

I can currently browse it in the UI/IDE using the various inspectors. It would be nice if I could easily save this data to a file with a mouse click rather than having to write code, or add JDBC connections and rerun the model, etc. Typically what...
