Creating a successful Callable Library application

Successful applications of the C API often follow these guidelines.

Overview
This outline suggests useful steps in developing a Callable Library application.
Prototype the model
A small model for prototyping may be helpful, especially in applications to solve very large models.
Identify the routines to call
This guideline may help you identify relevant Callable Library routines to use.
Test procedures in the application
The Interactive Optimizer offers a test-bed for Callable Library applications.
Assemble the data
To populate the model with data, CPLEX offers alternative routines.
Choose an optimizer
According to problem type, consider which optimizer to use.
Observe good programming practices
CPLEX supports standard programming conventions in Callable Library applications.
Debug your program
CPLEX is compatible with debuggers and other programming tools.
Test your application
CPLEX supports testing of performance and correctness.
Use the examples
CPLEX offers examples to follow.
