WML multiprocessing support

Multiprocessing using Pythons multiprocesing library works with Notebooks in Watson Studio, but not for deployed WML models. Multiprocessing for DOCPLEX MILP models can significantly reduce time and resources used for solving a set of several mode...

ODBCUpdate function needed

On the recent versions of cplex we have functions like ODBCRead and ODBCPublish for data management on Data bases engines, but it is also necessary to have a function like ODBCUpdate which corresponds to the old one DBUpdate function which allows ...

Postpone the end of support for IBM DOCPLEX Cloud

It is currently planned an end of support for IBM Optimization center in september 2020. Given the global crisis related to COVID 19 Pandemia, our development team are understaffed and there is a risk not to be ready by September 2020. Could we ex...

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...

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...
