Use Decision Optimization with Planning Analytics Workspace (Cloud only)

You can now use Decision Optimization (IBM® ILOG® CPLEX®) with IBM Planning Analytics Workspace on Cloud to deliver prescriptive analytics capabilities to help you make better decisions and deliver improved business outcomes.

With the Cloud Pak for Data Platform integration configured, and the required services IDs and views in place, analysts can easily view and run optimization jobs within the configured deployment space directly from Planning Analytics Workspace.  Additionally, they can configure action buttons to run any of the jobs of a deployment space, allowing any Planning Analytics Workspace user to run optimization jobs.

Administrators, analysts, and modelers can access optimization jobs from the new Watson AI jobs tab on a book.

You'll notice a couple of other changes in support of Decision Optimization. The Administration perspective now includes an Integrations tile, where you can configure the required integration with the IBM Cloud Pak® for Data Platform.

Additionally, the properties for an Action button now include a Run AI Job tab, where you can specify an existing Watson AI job to run from the button.
