cplexoptnode properties

CPLEX Optimization node icon The CPLEX Optimization node provides the ability to use complex mathematical (CPLEX) based optimization via an Optimization Programming Language (OPL) model file.

Table 1. cplexoptnode properties
cplexoptnode properties Data type Property description
opl_model_text string The OPL (Optimization Programming Language) script program that the CPLEX Optimization node will run and then generate the optimization result.
opl_tuple_set_name string The tuple set name in the OPL model that corresponds to the incoming data. This isn't required and is normally not set via script. It should only be used for editing field mappings of a selected data source.
data_input_map List of structured properties The input field mappings for a data source. This isn't required and is normally not set via script. It should only be used for editing field mappings of a selected data source.
md_data_input_map List of structured properties

The field mappings between each tuple defined in the OPL, with each corresponding field data source (incoming data). Users can edit them each individually per data source. With this script, you can set the property directly to set all mappings at once. This setting isn't shown in the user interface.

Each entity in the list is structured data:

Data Source Tag. The tag of the data source. For example, for 0_Products_Type the tag is 0.

Data Source Index. The physical sequence (index) of the data source. This is determined by the connection order.

Source Node. The source node (annotation) of the data source. For example, for 0_Products_Type the source node is Products.

Connected Node. The prior node (annotation) that connects the current CPLEX optimization node. For example, for 0_Products_Type the connected node is Type.

Tuple Set Name. The tuple set name of the data source. It must match what's defined in the OPL.

Tuple Field Name. The tuple set field name of the data source. It must match what's defined in the OPL tuple set definition.

Storage Type. The field storage type. Possible values are int, float, or string.

   

Data Field Name. The field name of the data source.

Example:
[[0,0,'Product','Type','Products','prod_id_tup','int','prod_id'],
[0,0,'Product','Type','Products','prod_name_tup','string',
'prod_name'],[1,1,'Components','Type','Components',
'comp_id_tup','int','comp_id'],[1,1,'Components','Type',
'Components','comp_name_tup','string','comp_name']]
opl_data_text string The definition of some variables or data used for the OPL.
output_value_mode string Possible values are raw or dvar. If dvar is specified, on the Output tab the user must specify the object function variable name in OPL for the output. If raw is specified, the objective function will be output directly, regardless of name.
decision_variable_name string The objective function variable name in defined in the OPL. This is enabled only when the output_value_mode property is set to dvar.
objective_function_value_fieldname string The field name for the objective function value to use in the output. Default is _OBJECTIVE.
output_tuple_set_names string The name of the predefined tuples from the incoming data. This acts as the indexes of the decision variable and is expected to be output with the Variable Outputs. The Output Tuple must be consistent with the decision variable definition in the OPL. If there are multiple indexes, the tuple names must be joined by a comma (,).

An example for a single tuple is Products, with the corresponding OPL definition being dvar float+ Production[Products];

An example for multiple tuples is Products,Components, with the corresponding OPL definition being dvar float+ Production[Products][Components];

decision_output_map List of structured properties The field mapping between variables defined in the OPL that will be output and the output fields. Each entity in the list is structured data:

Variable Name. The variable name in the OPL to output.

Storage Type. Possible values are int, float, or string.

Output Field Name. The expected field name in the results (output or export).

Example:
[['Production','int','res'],['Remark','string','res_1']['Cost',
'float','res_2']]
