type

INSIGHT_GAP 
The gap to the optimal solution, as a percentage

Further information
1. This function allows the model to report back progress to the system where it is accessible by a client for display.
2. The Xpress Insight event mechanism does not use the mmjobs send function.
3. By default, mminsight registers the insightupdateprogress function provided by the mminsight package as the callback function for the gapnotify callback. The insightupdateprogress function calls insightupdate for any metric that has changed. It is expected that the developer will only need to call insightupdate directly if the gapnotify callback is registered against a function provided by the developer.
