Support notebook code to write any file format and allow user to 'Export' (download)

Currently, DSXL only supports writing .csv files in Data Sets. In that case, the user can view the file and export/download the file to the local machine for further processing.Other file formats can be written, but the file cannot be viewed or ex...

Add NetApp Trident storage support for WatsonX.AI (5.2 and onwards)

Our aligned storage solution on containerized applications is NetApp Trident. We have invested heavily in this, so it is our expectation that the enterprise grade solution of WatsonX.AI supports this storage solution. Forcing to use ODF just for t...

Implement nonconvex quadratic constraints in CPLEX

CPLEX already supports nonconvex quadratic objectives, but not yet constraints, even though they bring a lot of flexibility in modelling.

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...

Add Python 3.12 and 3.13 binary wheel distributions for CPLEX

The Python Package Index only contains distributions of CPLEX for 3.11 (see https://pypi.org/project/cplex/#files). Please upload wheels for Python 3.12 and 3.13.

Ability to restrict custom runtime environment definitions to projects or/ and users

As a service provider I need the ability to define custom runtime environment definitions with different node-affinities. Not every tenant should be able to use e.g., node-affinities to large nodes. Therefore, I need to restrict the usage of custo...

add doopl in the CPLEX distribution

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 ...

Allow Timestamp Functions/Operations on Data Flows

We are struggling to get data from remote connections/servers for a determined period of time. We can make some calculations with other data types, but not with timestamps. We end up retrieving massive amount of data into our cloud environment, im...

Empty links in CPLEX Optimization Studio Documentation

There are many 'empty' links/pages in the CPLEX Optimization Studio Documentation when I search for topics. I limit the scope to CPLEX and IDE, but still get many, many blank results. I spend a great deal of time clicking through blank pages to fi...

Nonlinear solver for CPLEX

Add nonlinear optimization capability to CPLEX. Many real-life models are nonlinear by nature. CPLEX solver requires a linear model to work. A good nonlinear solver can often times overperform a linearized form of a real-life model. Having a nonli...
