How to invoke the conflict refiner

Describes routines and methods to invoke the conflict refiner in CPLEX.

Table 1 summarizes the methods and routines that invoke the conflict refiner, depending on the component or API that you choose.

A conflict refiner operating on constraints and domains of variables is also available in CP Optimizer, the constraint programming engine of IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio, in the methods IloCP::refineConflict. For more information about those methods, see the concept Conflict Refiner in CP Optimizer as well as the documentation of those methods in the reference manual of the C++ API.

Table 1. Conflict Refiner

Concert Technology for C++ Users	`IloCplex::refineConflict`	`getConflict`	`writeConflict`
Concert Technology for Java Users	`IloCplex.refineConflict`	`getConflict`	`writeConflict`
Concert Technology for .NET Users	`Cplex.RefineConflict`	`GetConflict`	`WriteConflict`
Callable Library	`CPXrefineconflict` `CPXrefineconflictext`	`CPXgetconflict` `CPXgetconflictext`	`CPXclpwrite`
Interactive Optimizer	`conflict`	`display conflict all`	`write file.clp`

The following sections explain more about these methods and routines.
