ILOG CPLEX 11.0 User's Manual > Discrete Optimization > Solution Pool: Generating and Keeping Multiple Solutions > Accumulating Incumbents in the Solution Pool

MIP optimization automatically adds incumbents to the solution pool as they are discovered when you call it in one of these conventional ways:

For example, if you read the model of Example: Simple Facility Location Problem into the Interactive Optimizer and invoke the usual command mipopt, MIP optimization finds solutions that it stores in the solution pool, and the log looks something like this (allowing for variation in the MIP path):

Solution pool: 4 solutions saved.
