Hi Bhaskar,<br><br>I've tried the note and it works fine - allowing the user to logically delete multiple workflows at once in SWIA. We probably won't be needing the custom program anymore. <br><br>Thanks for the tip!<br>

<p><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">It appears OSS has recently released a new note 1286336 which
adds a ‘Logically delete’ option to SWIA and allows mass processing. Haven’t tried
this yet, but it could be a great option and avoid having to write a Z program
for this.</span></p>

<br>
Hi all,<br>
<br>
At a client that has been live for a year there are a number of work items<br>
(thousands) that have accumulated in inboxes because although they were<br>
routed to agents, often the problem was corrected without executing the<br>
workitem. The work items are therefore no longer necessary.<br>
<br>
Of course correcting the problem outside workflow goes against the work flow<br>
principles and means that there is no audit trail, etc. but the point is<br>
that they now have all these unncessary work items and want to get rid of<br>
'em.<br>
<br>
What are the options?<br>
- SWWL_TOPLEVEL? Apparently not meant to be run in a productive environment<br>
- New custom program to call a WAPI?<br>
- Anything else?<br>
<br>
I'm sure this problem isn't that uncommon so I'd be interested in any<br>
comments or suggestions please.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Gavin<br>
