Heuristic Solution Generation in CPLEX
At every node, CPLEX gives you the opportunity to attempt to convert a fractional solution into an integer solution with the HeuristicCallback
. In addition, CPLEX periodically uses its own heuristics, as described in the manual, to convert fractional solutions to heuristic ones. If you use a HeuristicCallback
, the diagram below shows were it will be called.

Interestingly, the Heuristic callback can be called multiple times at a node, once for each round of cuts added. If your heuristic is computationally expensive, be sure to keep this in mind.
Warning
Observe that any solution generated by a HeuristicCallback will not be checked against the lazy constraints. The programmer is responsible for ensuring feasibility.
