<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Hi Bhupinder,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Perhaps you should tell us more about your
requirement, SAP release, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>For example, is this a ‘one-off’
issue? Has the user departed, and the work no longer needs to get done? <br>
Is the object deleted, but the workitem remains? <br>
Do you need to do this on a regular basis?<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>Yes, technically you can use SWWL to
delete sets of workitems – but not by userid, and it is definitely not
recommend for Production. <br>
You can view what is in a selected user’s inbox using SWI5, and then if
you have workflow administrator privileges, you can change the workflow and
delete the workitem. But what happens downstream? <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:black'>If this issue recurs, you should probably
re-visit the design. Userids should always be checked for validity if you are
delivering workitems directly to users. That way you won’t deliver
workitems to users who have left the company. Workflows should also react to ‘object
deleted’ events – so you never deliver a workitem on a deleted
task. So perhaps some root cause analysis is also necessary.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
