Replacement for DB Link to allow sensible database access from OPL

DB Link functionality was removed from version 12.7 and this prevents the sensible accessing of databases from OPL by removing the availability of DBConnection, DBRead, DBUpdate and DBExecute. Whilst there were various issues and bugs with the dat...

new DBlink for cplex OPL optimization studio

Dear developers. I thought that this idea either was already posted or perhaps is considered inside other idea related with ODX, but anyway I do want to ensure that next enhancement to cplex optimization studio get done: until opl 12.6.3. the fetc...

Ease call, edit, debug, and monitor OPL / CPLEX models within DSX

OPL is a much simpler way than Python for optimization modeling and today we provide only https://twitter.com/AlexFleischer1/status/909759411484274689 If we had a simpler way OPL / CPLEX customers could move their models to DSX and DSX data...

More consistent handling of .csv data when manually duplicating/creating scenarios

Problem statement/pain points: When creating a new scenario via duplicating an existing one manually (not using Python code), there appear to be currently two ways to make a change to input data in a table of the new scenario: 1) change data direc...

Ability to add/remove rows in "Input Data" tables in Model Builder

Use case: I duplicate a scenario in the "Scenarios" panel. The scenario I'd like to test involves adding/removing one data point, e.g. adding a new machine in the predictive maintenance model or taking that machine out of service by removing it. ...

Support for mac M1 ARM

Need CPLEX native support for ARM based osx M1/M2 - A lot of developers use mac for development and going through the emulation option is not optimal

OPL csv import/export

Generating .dat is not that elegant.Importing/exporting from Excel is slow.Csv format is often used for other applications as well.

Support custom installed Python libraries

DO for DSX seems to not support custom installed Python libraries.I installed a Python library for performance profiling in the notebook for my optimization model using '!pip install yappi'.The notebook runs fine, but when importing as model, the ...

Full optimization modeling editor inside DO for DSX

The DO for DSX model editor needs to be on par with other optimization model editors (such as our own CPLEX Studio) to remain relevant and for people to buy in. It should include built-in capabilities also to do sensitivity analysis, monitor model...
