Need the ability to purge mbos and related objects

To keep performance within acceptable parameters and to meet data retention requirements we need the ability to easily remove unneeded tickets (workorders, changes, incidents, problems, etc...) and all associated records (relationships, attachments, approvals, workflow objects) which are also eligible for removal based on internal api Maximo rules. The desired method is to accomplish this through the user interface without having to specifically identify each related object and the rules of the relationship.

    Thank you for your feedback and ideas. Unfortunately, after evaluating this idea, we have determined that it doesn’t align with our near-term priorities and roadmap strategy. Please don't hesitate to resubmit for re-evaluation after 12 months if you feel it is still valid and important. Thank you again for your feedback.

    A good example would be the way Maximo V4 allowed exports of data all from the UI to save to a file. While the IBM Optim Archiving for Maximo adds additional functionality, for most clients the desire to archive shouldn't require additional licenses and knowledge of another product.
