EMP Subsolver

Hi,

I have started using GAMS EMP and I am running into a problem controlling the subsolver through the emp.opt file.I would appreciate it if you could help me through this.
I am using the sequence.gms example provided in EMPLib. When I globally set the MIP solver to either Cplex or SCIP these solvers get invoked (and solve the problem) in every reformulation despite specifying the alternate solver as a subsolver.

As below in sequence.lst we have lines indicating setting the subsolver to Cplex and later we see that SCIP is envoked which is my default MIP solver.


— Using Option File
Reading parameter(s) from “D:\vSPDv2.0.4\Programs\jams.opt”

FileName indicators.gms
SubSolver CPLEX
Finished reading from “D:\vSPDv2.0.4\Programs\jams.opt”

JAMS : indicators.gms
— The model indicators.gms will be solved by GAMS


— Returning from GAMS step

SCIP 24.3.3 r48116 Released Sep 19, 2014 VS8 x86 32bit/MS Windows

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out: we’ve fixed the issue in the JAMS source. This will be reflected in the public beta of our next major release due out near the end of August.
