Loading speed of Demand points of location-allocation model is very slow..

KAMALAKANTASAHOO

Hi Everyone,
I have 50000 demand locations for my research work. It took about 10 hours to load the 50000 points into demand points(as shown in figure) of Location-Allocation extension of ArcGIS 10.1.
I have created all polygon files (points, lines) in a file geodatabase and try to load the demandLocations into the DemandPoints of location-allocation extension of ArcGIS (as shown in figure).

Please help me and let me know is there any other/faster way to load locations to the Location-allocation module of ArcGIS10.1.

That process should take a minute not hours. Most likely you do not have a good spatial index on your street feature class that is taking part in the network dataset. You should bring up the properties of the street feature class in catalog and click on the Indexes tab and see if the index exists. Create it or delete and recreate it.

Another thing you can do when you have to reuse the same points many times for loading into different NA layers AND your network dataset is not changing, you can use the Calculate Locations tool to pre-compute the network locations and then load them into the NA layer using the network locations fields (not geometry) option.
