Scheduling in the OPL IDE and Gantt display

For solving scheduling problems in CPLEX Optimization Studio, the OPL language provides many scheduling-specific language constructs. Users can also display results in the Gantt chart within the IDE.

Code assist in the OPL IDE

In the IDE, the Optimization Programming Language (OPL) is strengthened by an Abstract Syntax Tree which allows to search, replace and recognize a given element as text or as having a certain attribute.

Run an OPL run-configuration locally

To solve a given model, users must create a run-configuration which consist of models and data sources. Right-click on the run-configuration and choose “Run this” from the menu.

CPLEX Optimization Studio is very agile and provides answers for any scenario. It prepares us for the future by helping us make better decisions.
