Once the model is extracted to the cplex object, you are ready to solve it. This is done by calling

cplex.solve();

For most problems this is all that is needed for solving the model. Nonetheless, ILOG CPLEX offers a variety of controls that allow you to tailor the solution process for your specific needs.
