Security Configuration Considerations on the FICO Analytic Cloud

The following information describes the security implications when using Xpress Workbench on the FICO Analytic Cloud.

Xpress Workbench operates in a secure configuration on the FICO Analytic Cloud. This secure configuration enforces a number of restrictions:

  • Solver algorithms are limited to 4 threads.
  • Module parameters can only be set in the model itself.
  • The python3 Mosel module ("python3.dso") is not available on the FICO Analytic Cloud.
  • mmjobs: routines 'connect' and 'detach' are disabled.
  • mmhttp: routines httpget, put, post, get and startsrv are disabled.
  • mmodbc: connection strings must be of the form "DSN=<dsn>" or use the integrated 'sqlite' driver.
Note: These restrictions are in addition to the default rules:
  • NoExec (no system calls or interaction with external native code)
  • NoReadNoWriteWDOnly (file system access restricted to the current working directory only)
