[SOLVED] Set limitation on gap tolerance and run time

Set limitation on gap tolerance and run time

I have two questions:

In IBM ILOG CPLEX, I wrote an OPL project. Because the code works with large scale data, it takes a lot of time to solve. What is the code for limitation the gap tolerance of MIP Problem and limitation the time?
I want to have a CSV file containing my desired results. For example, I want to have an objective function and runtime and the facility variable in a CSV file. I got all these results but I want them to be written in a CSV file too.

Solution

1) Add the following code before the minimize statement in your .mod file.

execute
{
   cplex.tilim=30; // 20 s time limt
   cplex.epgap=0.01 // 1% gep
}

You can confirm that it is taken into account by examining the engine log. It should have something like this at the very beginning:

CPXPARAM_TimeLimit                               30
CPXPARAM_MIP_Tolerances_MIPGap                   0.01
