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...

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...

Tuning Tool should work for CP as well as CPLEX

The Tuning Tool only works for CPLEX. It should also be made to work for CP.

Implementation of iif indicator constraint in C API

We would like to be able to implement if-and-only-if indicator constraints in the C API.

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.

OPL Script function to see which variables exist in model

Using OPL script, is it possible to know whether a given variable name exists in model ? For instance, something like model.contains("x") that would return true if x is a variable in model. If yes, is there any way of knowing the type and the indi...

OPL function to assign a initial value or fix te value to a variable

The only way to do a warm start is by using OPL script.it should be possible in the variable declaration to give a start value. the same way if you want to fix a variable to a value you need to 2 lines of code to fix the upper and lower bounds... ...
