Additional documentation is available for CPLEX.

In addition to this introductory manual, the standard distribution of CPLEX comes with the CPLEX User’s Manual and the CPLEX Reference Manuals. All documentation is available online. It is delivered with the standard distribution of the product and accessible through conventional HTML browsers for customers on most platforms.

• The CPLEX User’s Manual explains the relationship between the Interactive Optimizer and the Component Libraries. It enlarges on aspects of linear programming with CPLEX and shows you how to handle quadratic programming (QP) problems, quadratically constrained programming (QCP) problems, second order cone programming (SOCP) problems, and mixed integer programming (MIP) problems. It tells you how to control CPLEX parameters, debug your applications, and efficiently manage input and output. It also explains how to use parallel CPLEX optimizers.

• The CPLEX Callable Library Reference Manual documents the Callable Library routines and their arguments. This manual also includes additional documentation about error codes, solution quality, and solution status.

• The CPLEX C++ API Reference Manual documents the C++ API of the Concert Technology classes, methods, and functions.

• The CPLEX Java API Reference Manual supplies detailed definitions of the Concert Technology interfaces and CPLEX Java classes.

• The CPLEX .NET Reference Manual documents the .NET API for CPLEX.

• The CPLEX Python API Reference Manual documents the Python API for CPLEX.

• The reference manual CPLEX Parameters contains documentation of parameters that can be modified by parameter routines. It is the definitive reference manual for the purpose and allowable settings of CPLEX parameters.

• The reference manual CPLEX File Formats contains a list of file formats that CPLEX supports as well as details about using them in your applications.

• The reference manual CPLEX Interactive Optimizer contains the commands of the Interactive Optimizer, along with the command options and links to examples of their use in the CPLEX User’s Manual.

As you work with CPLEX on a long-term basis, you should read the complete User’s Manual to learn how to design models and implement solutions to your own problems. Consult the reference manuals for authoritative documentation of the Component Libraries, their application programming interfaces (APIs), and the Interactive Optimizer.
