Howeverfor a given instance, the current implementation can not find any integer feasible solution, although that the instance is feasible (I checked it using a heuristic approach to find a feasible solution to the instance).

So, I was thinking about the possibility of some set of constraints is making the formulation invalid, i.e., some set of constraints is making the formulation not find an integer feasible solution. After hours of code debugging, checking if the formulation was implemented right, and I could not find any error in the code, also, the formulation (theoretically) is right.


Therefore, currently, I am trying to use the MIP Start strategy to input the instance feasible solution (achieved through the heuristic method) in the solver, and then in someway detect which constraints are being violated by the given solution. I know that I can give a solution to the Cplex solver using the function cplex.addMIPStart(x_var, x_val, effort_level), also I know very vaguely that I can use the conflict refiner strategy to find the unrespected constraints (if they exist).


I am here to ask for help in the second strategy, the conflict refiner, I know some links on the IBM Cplex resources web page, however at the moment I could not find any resource that approaches the using of MIP Start with conflict refiner to find which constraints of the model are not being respected. Hence, I would like to know if someone worked wit this before, and I could help me with this.


You don't actually need to use the MIP start approach. Fix the upper and lower bounds for all your discrete variables to their values in the heuristic solution, then try to solve the model. Assuming CPLEX asserts that the modified model is infeasible, invoke the conflict refiner to see which constraints (in addition to at least some of your modified bounds) contribute to infeasibility.


IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio provides the fastest way to build efficient optimization models and state-of-the-art applications for the full range of planning and scheduling problems. With its integrated development environment, descriptive modeling language and built-in tools, and state-of-the-art solvers for both mathematical programming and constraint programming problems, it supports the entire model development and solution process.


CPLEX Optimization Studio comprises several components. Not all components are available on all platforms. Consult the Detailed System Requirements page described below for details. Each component is located in a subfolder (subdirectory on UNIX/Linux) of the installation location. The APIs and connectors for each component are in the component subfolder (subdirectory), for example the MATLAB, Excel, and AMPL connectors for CPLEX are located in the cplex folder (directory).


To use the distributed MIP to solve a standalone OPL model, first create a Virtual Machine Configuration (VMC) file to specify the machines that you will use as workers for the distributed computation. The format of the VMC file is described in the CPLEX documentation:VMC file format: virtual machine configuration for distributed parallel optimization.



An example of a VMC file is provided with the distMIP OPL example. You may need to edit that file to indicate where you have installed CPLEX Optimization Studio. Then, from the IDE, link the VMC file to a run configuration by editing the settings (.ops) file of your project.


When you execute the run configuration of your project, OPL loads the specified VMC file into CPLEX. The VMC file indicates that CPLEX must use distributed parallel MIP with the machines specified in the file. Distributed parallel MIP is invoked only if the model to be solved is a MIP.


An OPL example, distMIP, is provided in version 12.6.0.1.

To import the distMIP model in the IDE:

File > Import > Example > IBM ILOG OPL Examples > Sorted by Technique > Integer Programming > distMIP


The three run configurations illustrate the various ways in which the VMC file can be specified:

* including it in a settings file

* including it in a JavaScript block

* reading it with a CPLEX method


The versions of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio tuned for Power 7 architecture reside in the subdirectories named power7-32_aix and power7-64_aix in the component directories. The libraries and executable files in these subdirectories operate only on the Power 7 platform. C or C++ applications built with these libraries must use the IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, Version 11.1, or later compilers.


The UNIX/Linux installer is an executable file and, to launch an installation, the file should have execute permission and should be executed from the command line. For example, issue the command ./.bin, where is the name of the installer. You can give a file execute permission with the command chmod u+x .bin.


Before that we must install cplex package for python using the setup.py included in the directory that you installed CPLEX. e.g. C:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio201\cplex\python\3.7\x64_win64\setup.py

C and C++ applications built with these libraries must use the IBM XL C/C++ for AIX, Version 11.1 or later, compilers.


Here's a procedure to install cplex 22.1.1 with python 3.10. You need to adjust the instructions according to the versions that you use. for cplex, it's important that the version you install matches the version you load with module.


Since version 11, the solver will try to use all processors on the machine to solve the problem. It is therefore really important that you specifiy a limited number of processors so your solve doesn't interfere with other programs that could be running.


Because of web applications are popular nowadays, they are generally preferred over desktop applications because of their ease of access. And however This IBM ILOG CPLEX program is frequently used in operations research in mathematical model solving.

İt presents this program on the web and it provides flexibility and convenience to the decision maker. In this study, the parameters entered from the web interface which are connected to IBM ILOG CPLEX and the results are listed as an application, a specific advertising example is used in optimization problems. Today, internet and television advertising are so much famous. The importance of advertising, which is allocated a good budget in reaching their target audience is of great goal. In this application, company producing form to give spot ads to televisions. It is aimed to calculate the number of advertisements and to calculate the number of advertisements by reaching the target audience by entering the advertising costs and the number of people in which sector, in exact age ranges. The application consists of desktop and web applications. These applications were created by using c programming language in Visual Studio which was developed by Microsoft in 2017 and the SQL Server was used as the database in 2012. The goal of the desktop application is to run every minute with the task scheduler and read the advertising parameters from the web application on the SQL Server tables. Because of the complex things of CPLEX connection codes and non web compatibility, those connection codes are developed in desktop software by hard. And however web application is developed in ASP.NET MVC 4 which is a visual studio development tool. Here, advertising costs, the number of people in the age range to be entered and the number of people desired to reach the target audience are entered. Since waiting for the task timer to return, reports keep being on the screen. As a result, the targeted cost and number of ads were obtained successfully and the budget for which advertisement was allocated was calculated. The results obtained according to the specified sequence of operations are displayed in the queue by showing the loading times on the screen. the results obtained, the costs entered, the total advertising costs calculated, statistics that allow the examination of targeted age ranges are shown in the reports.
