Remove unnecessarily stored credentials from the clients .odmapp

The .odmapp file that is distributed to clients contains the credentials to the scenario database. This exposes these credentials unnecessarily as they are only required on the Data Server.

Improve performance of writing data to Scenario DB

As per our analysis DOC uses JDBC "batch insert" method when writing data to Scenario Database. A much faster method would be "multiple row insert", which can also be done with JDBC. The following link shows how to do it in Java. The author measur...

Remove constand offset variable if it equals zero

Exporting an LP-file creates a fixed variable representing a constant offset. For many users, this is often zero, so it shuld be optional or not appearing if the offset is zero. cf. https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id...

Resolve race condition in CP optimizer engine

We've run into what seems to be a race condition in the cp optimizer engine with multiple workers. The issue occurs when a worker finds the initial solution right around the time limit. In this case, the engine believes that it timed out, but it a...

Time to Best

I want to put your attention on the optimization concept called "time to best" (ttb), i.e. the time needed by an optimization procedure to find the best solution regardless of the total time needed by its complete execution. Anyone working in the ...

Implement piecewise linear features in Matlab API.

As for all the other APIs, it would be great to add to be able to describe PWLs with the new features introduced from 12.7.0, also in Matlab. The procedure to write several PWLs can become quite cumbersome for a large amount of constraints.
