Hey there,

I am completly new at CPLEX and any other solver. At the moment I am trying to import the attached files (toworkforceallshifts.gms; workforcescheduling.gms; AllShifts.inc) to CPLEX. The model is described in ColumnGeneration.pdf

I have already contacted GAMS to use the GAMS/CPLEX-Link but the free demo version can only solve models with a limited size. That is why I have to convert/import the complete model because I dont have a commercial licencse of GAMS.

But at the moment I dont know how to start. The Gams-sales-team provides me with two converted files (cplex.lp & cplex.mps) which should be useable in CPLEX.

To sum up:

How can I import the model into CPLEX?

Thanks for your help :)

Cheers!

Hi,

you can use the command line cplex.exe in order to run your lp file.

You can also use OPL:

main
{
cplex.importModel("cplex.lp");

cplex.solve();
writeln(cplex.getObjValue());

}

and

you ll gte 310 as a result
