    Hello,

    I have an optimization problem with binary variables only and the objective function has a sum that evolves index i and i+1.
    All my optimization options are set to automatically, thus I would like to know how can I see what process CPLEX is using to find my solutions, this is, branch and bound? with which possible heuristics or metaheuristics. Is there a way to get a report on this?
    I have a complex function and the optimization process never stops so I simply restrict the time the solver works. To identify the potential of my solution (after 400 seconds run) I need to understand the process CPLEX uses.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    if you are using the IDE, you should have a look at the engine log tab.

    You can read some info in the documentation at

    IDE and OPL > CPLEX Studio IDE > IDE Tutorials > Understanding solving statistics and progress (MP models)
