Python API - mi.solve

Post by silence »

Hi everyone,

I’m using Python to call GAMS to solve an MIP problem. There are 6 parameters that need to be updated. When the model was run, the following problem occurred.

When the parameters "COST" and "WD" were commented out, the model run successfully.

What should I do about this problem?
Here are the model and input files.

Thanks~

The error message "Unmatched record limit exceeded while processing modifier COST, for more info check GamsModelInstanceOpt parameter no_match_limit" is a good start to debug. The default no_match_limit is 0, so all records in the syncDB need a parameter in the model. For COST syncDB contains:

Code: Select all

Parameter COST(*) Cost /
'1' 9900,
'2' 39900,
'3' 0.38,
'4' 1.48,
'5' 0.15,
'6' 0.236,
'7' 0.15,
'8' 0.314,
'9' 0.154 /;
while the model misses COST('2'). You can e.g. use the "solver" convert with option "dict" to see the elements of the model. Please note that the modifiable parameters are turned into variables and get an additional suffix "_var", so for COST we have:

Code: Select all

  x513  COST_var(1)
  x514  COST_var(3)
  x515  COST_var(4)
  x516  COST_var(5)
  x517  COST_var(6)
  x518  COST_var(7)
  x519  COST_var(8)
  x520  COST_var(9)
With symbol WD it is even worse. The syncDB has

Code: Select all

Parameter WD(*,*) Water demand /
'1'.'1' 135.2074323,
'1'.'2' 126.6750235,
'1'.'3' 147.4151586,

The COST issue you could resolve by increasing no_match_limit, but the WD issue needs to be dealt with properly. Either use 1 to 9 inside GAMS or fill the syncDB with proper customer names.

You need to understand how to debug such issues and I hope I have given you some pointers how to accomplish this.
