Three Steps to Migration​

No matter what programming language you use, you’ll need to consider three points when starting a migration effort:

  • Model-building Considerations – Different APIs allow you to build models in different ways. For example, in addition to the traditional term-based formulation, our Python API allows you to use pandas or SciPy matrices, which may be much more efficient for your use case.
  • Setting Solver Parameters – Consider the solver parameters you need to change, and the effects these changes will have on your model.
  • Computing and Extracting the Solution – Think about the type of solution you want and the parameters necessary to obtain it. For example, you may need multiple solutions that satisfy a minimum quality level. Or, perhaps you just want a good-enough, feasible solution. With that goal in mind, consider the most efficient method for extracting your solution.
