Decision Optimization CPLEX & For Watson Studio

Implement OPL as a DSL in F#

I think that it can be valuable to offer OPL as a DSL in .NET. This can be an easy (cheap) way to combine the best of OPL and of the Cplex .NET API in one language. This way OPL remain for the definition of the problem but the control flow will be...

"If and only if" for indicator-constraints in MATLAB API

We use the CPLEX for MATLAB API to solve a MILP. In our case the bottleneck of the API is the limited functionality of indicator constraints. Whereas in OPL and the Java API an "if and only if" statement is possible, this functionality is missing ...

Ability to solve Python/docplex model in CPLEX Enterprise Server

This request is actually for CPLEX Enterprise Server, not CPLEX Optimization Studio, but CES was not an option in the list of products. Currently CES is only able to solve models implemented in OPL. We would like to be able to submit and solve app...

sin function in OPL

tuple breakpoint // y=f(x) { float x; float y; } sorted { breakpoint } breakpoints={<i,exp(2*sin(i))> | i in 70..135}; I am trying to code this while because of no sin function in OPL, I am not able to code this on OPL.

OPL shall generate concert model with column API

OPL fails at building very large scale models due to the fact that it uses a "row api" of concert : Variables are created and added then to the range constraints. Unfortunately, such API can become dramatically slow for very large models, and bui...

Scenario Migration tool

A good step to help DOC users migrate to DODS would be a simple Scenario migration tool that would extract scenario data from DOC and import into DODS. An option to also "export DOC Scenario(s) as CSV" could help administrators import the DOC data...

Add DOcplexCloud in the WDP Admin Console/ compute service

In the WDP admin console you don't have the DOcplexCloud servcie that appears. It is one of the compute service provided by IBM for Analytics

have the latest DOcplex package pre-installed

Hi, the docplex packages in python 2.7 or 3.5 are out dated. I find out when i tried the latest tutorial of DOCPLEX in DSX would be great that IBM package are up-to-date

Support for Linux ARM

We need a build for Linux ARM64. Preferably redhat enterprise 8. We're aiming our software for the ARM architecture and CPLEX for ARM is currently only available on OSX, but not for Linux. This is blocking us.
