The flow control examples show two methods, one building problems by project definition (IloOplRunConfiguration), and another by constructing a problem directly from model file and data (IloOplModel). However, there is no documentation guiding the user as to the advantages or reasons for choosing one mode over the other. Can you describe the reasons for selecting one over the other?

Hi,

IloOplRunConfiguration has been added later in OPL. It needs less lines to get a .mod/.dat to work together than with IloOplModel.
You can get the IloOplModel from the other one, so, unless I forget something, I think using the IloOplRunConfiguration is the best choice.

Here's a natural, honest, and respectful way to reply if you're not too familiar with the topic:

I've been exploring this myself and still trying to fully understand the differences. From what I gather, IloOplRunConfiguration seems easier for full projects, while IloOplModel might offer more control-but I'd love to hear how others decide between them.
