Hi, I'm trying to get the solving time of an optimization problem. I've followed what's suggested here http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21401522 but the resulting time is different from what's shown in the Engine log tab under the Elapsed time part. For example I get Elapsed time = 0.06sec and the manually calculated Solving time ~= 102.282226562 (which I believe it's 0.10sec).

Is the latter bigger because it's considering both the solving time + a sort of model initialization time?

Thanks

Hi

have you had a look at

?

Hello again Alex, thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

Maybe I did not provide enough context or I'm missing something. I'm using OPL with no api so I don't think what's referenced in that link is applicable in my case since it's referring to cplex and java.

What I'm doing now is

float temp;
execute{
    var before = new Date();  
    temp = before.getTime();
}
 
 // optimization problem definition
 // constraints
 
 execute{
    var after = new Date();
    writeln(after);
    writeln("solving time ~= ",after.getTime()-temp); 
 }
