Batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule

It would be helpful if there were an OOB mechanism that could be used to batch-update custom Maximo tables on a schedule.

For example, update a custom WOCOSTROLLUP table each night.

  • Either truncate and reload all rows each time.

  • Or, only merge/update the records that have not yet been synced.


Background:

I would populate the table with the rows from a SQL query (a query that rolls up tasks to WOs). The idea being, a static table that is refreshed nightly would be faster/less load on the system -- compared to constantly calculating rows on-the-fly in a db view (real-time data isn't needed). And the custom related table avoids the need to add 10+ fields to the WORKORDER table...which already has too many fields (250+ OOB fields).

I would prefer to do this from inside Maximo using an OOB/supported mechanism, rather than do it directly in the database via Oracle Scheduler.

    Thank you for your suggestion. Using Escalations and perhaps a script or formula would allow you to achieve this. There are no plans to introduce another mechanism at this time.
