title: How to read cplex virtual machine configuration file through Pyomo in windows?
body: <p>I am setting up cplex distributed computing over two machines (windows system) in Pyomo. How can I do that in a python script?</p>
  
  <p>I have already set up the cplex distributed computing connection through tcp/ip and can do parallel computing using Cplex Interactive Optimizer as instructed here: <a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSA5P_12.7.1/ilog.odms.cplex.help/CPLEX/UsrMan/topics/parallel_optim/distribMIP/09_tcp_ip.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSSA5P_12.7.1/ilog.odms.cplex.help/CPLEX/UsrMan/topics/parallel_optim/distribMIP/09_tcp_ip.html</a></p>
  
  <p>I don't know how to do the same thing in Pyomo API. Based on my research, pyomo's SolverFactory can only change the settings of solver parameters. What I want to do is to change the vmc settings through Pyomo API.</p>
