Background job to logically delete work items

[Keohan, Susan]

Brenda,
Depending on your release, you may be able to implement OSS Note  1286336 which allows you to cancel workitems from transaction SWIA.
Not too handy where there are hundreds of workitems, but it's worth looking into for the one-offs.
I would never use RSWWWIDE in production - SAP specifically cautions against this.

Regards,
Sue

As far as I know that one deletes the item and log permanently and the client requires that the logs remain in the system.

Brenda,

You can use SAP_WAPI_WORKITEM_DELETE in your batch program to delete specific workitems.

My new client has a large number of workflow instances active on the system and many users have inboxes full of work items.  The majority of these are highly customised purchase requisition release and purchase order release workflows.  For some reason, these workflows were not designed with wait for event steps to trap the event when the requisition or order is released or significantly changed, so the users have performed the necessary steps outside workflow and the workflows have not been terminated correctly.  We now need to remove these work items from the inboxes of these users, but obviously a manual trawl through all the workflows is not a preferred option.  Is there a function module or BAPI which I can use to logically delete a workflow instance in the background from a batch program?



Many thanks in advance,

Brenda Raubenheimer.
