Initializing help system before first use

Configuring Worker Properties File (Optional)

Several examples in the IDK (Insight developer kit) require Python, R, or other third-party software. For security purposes, only the most important system environment variables are leaked through to the Insight worker.
To execute Python or R, some configuration to the application.properties file is required.
  1. Open C:\ProgramData\FICO\XpressInsight\Worker\config\application.properties in the editor of your choice.
  2. Configure insight.worker.execution.environment.<env_var> for your use case.
    Important: In this file, special characters must be escaped. For example, the folder separator '\' becomes '\\'.
  3. After the configuration is done, open Windows task manager and restart Xpress Insight 5 Worker to register the changes.
  4. To run the Python examples, install Python package 'xpressinsight', and optionally 'xpress' for solving optimization models, and corresponding dependencies such as numPy and Pandas.

insight.worker.execution.environment.MOSEL_RESTR=0
insight.worker.execution.environment.Path=<path_to_pythondir>
Example: 
insight.worker.execution.environment.Path=C:\\Program Files\\Python39

insight.worker.execution.environment.MOSEL_RESTR=0
insight.worker.execution.environment.Path=C:\\Windows\\System32
insight.worker.execution.environment.PYTHON_EXE=C:\\Program Files\\Python39\\python.exe
  5. To run R via model system commands on Windows, set R_HOME and Path as follows: 
    insight.worker.execution.environment.R_HOME=<path_to_R>  
insight.worker.execution.environment.Path=<path_to_R\\bin>;C:\\Windows\\system32

Example: 
insight.worker.execution.environment.R_HOME=C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-4.0.5
insight.worker.execution.environment.Path=C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-4.0.5\\bin;C:\\Windows\\system32
  6. To run other examples, such as matplotlib, some libraries require the userprofile to leak through to the worker. 
    insight.worker.execution.environment.USERPROFILE=${USERPROFILE}
