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).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:


Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,


Post your ideas

Post ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted and upvote them if they matter to you,

Improve constraint priority attachment in OPL

Actually we have to use OPL script to attach a relaxation priority to a constraint. It will be easier to attach this priority at the creation of the constraint. Reason is that a constraint tupleset can easily include a priority field: tuple rvCons...

Piecewise function with input as coordinate (x,y) of curve's points

the actual piecewise function in OPL takes as input abscissas and vector coefficient to construct the function.Many time people have user have the (x;y) coordinate. to do that you need to write OPL code to find the vector coefficient.Would be grea...

Make CP cumulFunction and expressions accept float instead of int

cumulFunction and expressions currently only allow the resource usage to be int which is not useful for all resource types. Whilst a workaround of multiplying the int by a large number to approximate the float is possible there are limitations and...

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.

Improve OPL Interfaces by providing dynamically typed API and a “façade” compatible with the .NET framework

Using OPL interface in .Net is cumbersome. Manipulate data elements object and result is far from being trivial.By example, instantiate an int look like that: OplDataSource dataSource = new MyCustomDataSource(oplF); internal class MyCustomDataSour...

Improve OPL Interfaces by providing field access infer by using the OPL model schema

Modify coefficient, adding variable, iterate on tupleset, modifiing dataElements and almost all operation in the OPL interface are really counter intuitive. Object uses by OPL are not directly compatible with the framework object. Ituple!= Tuple. ...

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...

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 language enhancements : cannot slice with nested constraints on subTuples

I've been a happy user of OPL language, which has lots of wonderful features. However, there is one remaining recurrent issue in data modeling, which prevents some intuitive modeling. This is called "cannot slice with nested constraints on subTupl...

Extend CPLEX for Matlab to support the Matlab Compiler

CPLEX for MATLAB is an extension to IBM® ILOG® CPLEX Optimizers that allows a user to define optimization problems and solve them within MATLAB's development environment. However, an optimisation module developped with CPLEX for MATLAB and compile...
