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...

The "Files and Attachments" should be available for reporting as well

Currently there is no mechanism to show the related/uploaded Files i.e., SOXDocuments for reporting in Cognos, this limits the capability of the report and the users always have to navigate back to the system to see, if there are any attached file...

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.

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 ...

OPL port for z/OS

We are looking at CPLEX on zOS.Today, only compiling a C++ program can be used to drive CPLEX on the z platform. It would be much easier to be able to inject OPL directly in (concert, part of ) CPLEX for z/OS.

read solution from cpo file

For CP-Optimizer, it would be great to have the ability to read a given solution from a file and pass it to a cpo model as a starting point and also enable to check this solution feasibility

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...
