Feature highlights
Flexible development options
Flexible development options
Users can build models using Optimization Programming Language (OPL) . Users who want to directly model in APIs can also use C, C++, Java, C# or Python APIs.
Constraint programming solvers
Constraint programming solvers
Learn how constraint programming techniques compute solutions for detailed scheduling problems and combinatorial optimization problems.
Product highlight
IBM Decision Optimization for IBM Watson® Studio
IBM Decision Optimization is also available within IBM Cloud Pak® for Data where you can combine optimization and machine learning within a unified environment — IBM Watson Studio — that enables AI-infused optimization modeling capabilities.

Scheduling
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
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-configuration
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.
