Create IloAddable::setObject() in Java API

In the C++ API, there is the method IloExtractable::setObject()In the Java API, there is no equivalent on IloAddable. This is needed because it is useful to create a new IloIntVar from cplex.intVar(), and then associate a Java object to that varia...

If conditions in pre-processing in .mod files

To maintain two (or more) similar models in one instead of in two (or more) separate .mod files, we need the possibility of using if conditions in pre-processing in .mod files without using execution blocks.

Get CPLEX-version directly from ILOG-script

We have code that has to run under 12.7.1 and older version. Unfortunately the API for warm-start has changed. We have either vectors.setStart(cplex); // 12.7.1 or vectors.setVectors(cplex); // 12.6 OPL misses a nice way to access the version numb...
