Thank you for your submission. There are no plans at this time to change this behavior in the next several releases.
As Craig indicated, I have 250,000 assets, integrated from GIS, all of them in various routes as route stops (loaded in an initial data load via Excel application import).
Thousands of assets get changed each year (new, update, decom). So I need to refresh the assets/route stops accordingly. The only OOB way to refresh route stops in Maximo is to delete and replace. But I don't have a good way to delete 250,000 routes stops in Maximo right now. So that's where this RFE come in.
As Craig says it would be useful to know why you are deleting so many stops in one operation.
It could indicate a process fault e.g people not creating things in the right order or not thinking through the routes that they actually need.
If there is a process fault then correcting the process may remove the need for the RFE. I can see there is potential value in the RFE e.g. if a dataload error occurs.
While I have voted yes, my second thought is that isn't the volume you're indicating core reason that it should be a new route. I do appreciate that you (most likely) then don't want to have to go to each PM, master PM, or asset template that it's used.
Why are you need to change so much volume? How are you applying all the asset/locations in the first place?
