Hi,

I have a general question which I am not sure if here is an appropriate place to ask it.

I read some documents about data base connectivity and how we can call Cplex in other languages such as C++ & MATLAB... I have a loop of different functionality in my OPL code. In one part of my programming, I need to do simulation which is a very huge code. I found a simulation software which speeds up my work. I would like to know is it possible to connect the input and output of my simulation software to the OPL or even other languages. Just wondering if anyone can give me some idea about it.

Thanks

Hi,

some example at

https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=b56abfae-9a46-4716-88ff-46cfe87b7c64&ps=25

You may call OPL from C++, java, .NET

You may also call OPL with oplrun from any language through external call.

Just for my information is it also possible to call another software inside OPL?

Thanks.

Hi,

let me quote the documentation:

Using the Java code from OPL

Two IBM® ILOG Script functions enable you to call Java external functions from OPL models in IBM ILOG Script statements. 

The successive steps are:

1. Importing Java classes
2. Calling Java

PS:

You have many examples at opl\examples\opl_interfaces

You re welcome.

You have an example of XML parsing at https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=ea9dd71f-6c81-4daa-8bda-ed71cd29db29&ps=25

You may connect to Excel Spreadsheets and Databases for OPL

You may also connect to SPSS Modeler
