Function to Add tuple to a set in OPL not only in OPLscript

Have an OPL fucntion to add tuple to a set.It will avoid to use OPL script to populate them whish is slow and increase complexity of modeling.A work around that I use it to create identical Set of tuple in OPL and use OPLscript to just copy them i...

Information callback procedure for Benders algorithm

For MIP problems using branch-and-bound the CPLEX API offers the info or MIP callback procedure which can be used to retrieve information during a MIP search. For the Benders algorithm these callback procedures do not work (CPLEX 12.7 throws an er...

Have a regenerate option in OPL flow control

Have a way to call regenerate a model when you change some data in scripting without the need to build from zero the model out of the model and the data.

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...

Have DO for DSX not only in DSXL but also in Watson Studio

DO for DSX help DSXL customers deploy optimization. With Watson Studio we have less flexibility to do that. We should have that available to ease adoption of Decision Optimization by Watson Studio customers
over 6 years ago in Decision Optimization CPLEX & For Watson Studio 0 Functionality already exists

Support user-defined Python module

I would like to maintain a set of Python functions and classes in a separate model/script, then do an import from that module in a notebook and DO4DSX model.Use cases:* I want to move complex function definitions out of my notebook. The functions ...

DOC-like row filters for table views in DO

Have the ability to create a set of filters on a table view that:a. As a set of filters that each can be added, edited and removed.b. Are persistent, i.e. do not disappear when switching views. c. Can be enabled/disabledd. Include logic like `cont...

Constraint filtering in the problem browser

when you review the expression of the constraint from the problem browser, to see what constraint has been written from your code.the view allows to filter to some variables, order the display can be changed and display only the constraint that ar...
