QWT: Incorporate the same unit and costs as SQL/PA

We want QWT to incorporate the same unit and costs as SQL/PA (same QUNIT costs and dollar equivalent costs). We use these costs to compare expected performance of a query across the 30 production regions we manage. our management is always looking...

Produce log during OPL Extract phase similar to Solve Engine Log

Many OPL real-world optimisations spend a large proportion of the overall solve time performing extraction/generation and there is no log of what is happening during this time. There should be a log produced during Extract similar to the Engine Lo...

Restore documentation to CPLEX Studio installer

CPLEX Studio 22.1.2 did away with the "doc" folder containing documentation for the components, including in particular the Javadoc documentation for the Java API to CPLEX. Having a local copy of the reference manuals is desirable when working off...

Ability to control cplex memory consumption

Nowadays optimization runs are more and more conducted in the cloud, in kubernetes environments. In kubernetes, the processes run inside containers in what are called pods. To prevent a pod to be killed when the node (machine) capacity is exceeded...

a new parameter to control to force MIPStart if the variables are feasible

CPLEX choose to use MIPStart or not accoring to the heuristic. But sometimes the user think MIPStart values as particular variables is the best way to solve the problem. So we’d like to request a new parameter to control to force MIPStart if the v...

OPL Lazy Constraint Pool

At http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21681643, it is indicated that it is not possible to add lazy constraints in OPL Script. I know OPL is not a programming language, but it is quite important to be able to add lazy constraints in ...

In OPL ODBC connection, add a setting for batch size

The prebuilt ODBCConnection allows OPL to access databases using ODBC. One way to optimize database access is to tune the execution batch size. With older versions of OPL that included DBLink, this was the dbUpdateBatchSize parameter.
