Hi,

I want to upgrade my docplex to access the unlimited academic version in python. And this is my downloaded version and its corresponding folder E:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2212

And I want to follow Setting up the Python API of CPLEX - IBM Documentation , But I found there is no setup.py in E:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2212\cplex. 

So I saw the file readmeWindows.html and It said:

The CPLEX Python interface is no longer delivered inside CPLEX Optimization Studio, but can be installed directly from PyPI or from Anaconda, using the commands

  pip install cplex (conda install cplex for Anaconda)  pip install docplex (conda install docplex for Anaconda)

The first command installs the Community Edition CPLEX and CP Optimizer runtimes as well as a low-level Python interface to CPLEX. The second installs the higher-level "docplex" Python package which includes CPLEX and CP Optimizer modelling and solving support. The Community Edition runtimes which come as standard are limited in the size of optimization problems that they can solve. To upgrade the Community Edition runtimes and remove size limitations, use the command "docplex" which was installed when you installed the "docplex" module with pip or conda. Running:

  docplex config --upgrade Full_Path_To_This_CPLEX_Studio_Installation

will upgrade the CPLEX and CP Optimizer Python runtimes from the Community Edition version to a size-unlimited version.

Then I keep follow it but shows

E:\>docplex config --upgrade E:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2212
usage: docplex [-h] <command> ...
docplex: error: unrecognized arguments: Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2212

I want to know what should I do next, is there something I missed?

I am also experiencing problems using the following command in Anaconda prompt after installing cplex and docplex in the environment:

This returns an error:
'docplex' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Here are the steps to install the Python interface to CPLEX Optimization Studio. Maybe you missed step 2 ? 

1. install regular CPLEX Optimization Studio say in <COSDIR>
   
   
2. install CP Optimizer Python interface directly from PyPI or from Anaconda, using the commands
     pip install cplex (conda install cplex for Anaconda)
  pip install docplex (conda install docplex for Anaconda)

The second installs the higher-level "docplex" Python package which includes CPLEX and CP Optimizer modelling and solving support. The Community Edition runtimes which come as standard are limited in the size of optimization problems that they can solve.
   You should try to run an example to check the installation of the Community Edition edition at this stage before proceeding to the upgrade.
   
   
3. To upgrade the Community Edition runtimes and remove size limitations, use the command "docplex" which was installed when you installed the "docplex" module with pip or conda. Running:
     docplex config --upgrade <COSDIR>
   will upgrade the CPLEX and CP Optimizer Python runtimes from the Community Edition version to a size-unlimited version.

Hi, 

In Windows 11, I got the message "ERROR: unable to determine COS architecture mnemonic by searching for cplex2212.dll in C:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2211\cplex\bin. Please check your COS installation"

The CPLEX has already been added to the path automatically.

Could you help me upgrade the docplex?

Best Regards,

Levi.

Hi!

In this file C:\Program Files\IBM\ILOG\CPLEX_Studio2211\cplex\bin\x64_win64 there is a file name cplex2211.dll, just rename it cplex2212.dll and try the same you did before
