Decision Optimization CPLEX & For Watson Studio

Showing 100

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

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 ...

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...

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...

Adding a warning when a data source are not populate in a model

Once data elements are read once, adding a new data source has no effect. A warning that tells that adding a new data source after had no effect will help to debug. Here is an example. The observe problem was that no data where send to the databas...

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...

Add a timestamp to iterations reported in the Engine Log of CPLEX Optimization Studio

Add a timestamp to the output of the Engine Log for iterations of the solver (LP/MIP) in addition to the already existing report of the objective value and GAP.

handle C,C++,C# Java, python CPLEX model with CPLEX server

The CPLEX server handle only OPL model. It should also provide the queing, load balancing, security and flexibility for all the other source of model written with Concert technology

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...
