Usage

Use

# module avail xpress

to see which versions of Xpress are available. Use

# module load xpress/version

to get access to Xpress.

Mosel-files can be compiled and run on compute-nodes using the interactive software ‘mosel’.

To compile and run mosel-files (.mos) directly from the command-line using a batch-script, use:

#!/bin/bash
# scriptname: runmosel.sh
# usage: runmosel.sh <version> <mos-file>
# compile mos-files
module load xpress/$1
mosel -c "exec $2"

Similarly for pre-compiled models (.bim), using:

#!/bin/bash
# scriptname: runbim.sh
# usage: runbim.sh <version> <bim-file>
# run precompiled .bim
module load xpress/$1
mosel -c "load $2;run;"

Create these scripts in $HOME/bin to utilise them.

At the moment there are no support for MS Access-databases through odbc, but other databases (e.g. sqlite) can be read using unixODBC.
