Description

Specifies the name of an existing directory into which CPLEX may store temporary working files, such as for MIP node files or for out-of-core barrier files. The default is the current working directory.

This parameter accepts a string as its value. If you change either the API string encoding switch or the file encoding switch from their default value to a multi-byte encoding where a NULL byte can occur within the encoding of a character, you must take into account the issues documented in the topic Selecting an encoding in the CPLEX User's Manual. Especially consider the possibility that a NULL byte occurring in the encoding of a character can inadvertently signal the termination of a string, such as a filename or directory path, and thus provoke surprising or incorrect results.

Tip: If the string designating the path to the target directory includes one or more spaces, be sure to include the entire string in double quotation marks.

Values

Any existing directory; default: ‘.’
