Workflow Work Items

[Landry, Marcel]

Hi Diane,  you can use reports RSWWHIDE and RSWWWIDE to accomplish the
deletion of those workitems and their history, but BE CAREFULL when using
these reports.  Double check your selection parameters and run the reports
in test mode first!   Once you run the reports for real, there is no
recovery of those workitems.
 
 
Refer to OSS 0049545 for an explanation of the use of each report.  A quick
search on OSS for "RSWWHIDE and RSWWWIDE" will get you several other related
notes and documentation.
 
As for the identification of which workflows are necessary or not, that can
only be determined by you.  Report RSWWWIDE allows you to indicate the
status and task-id of those workitems you want to delete.  You can be quite
selective if you know which tasks/workflows are to be deleted.
 
If you run the report in succession with different selection criteria, don't
forget that once you remove the "Display list only" flag, the report will
delete the workitems without displaying them first...
 
Good luck.

Subject: Workflow Work Items
 
 
We are just starting to develop customer workflow in SAP3.1H.  However,
there are many work items in the system from existing SAP workflows that
need to be deleted or archived.  My problem is that many of them are
triggered by function modules and do not have agents and are in a ready
status.  The archiving software only archives completed work items. Is there
an easy way to change the status of these work items or can we simply delete
them in the ready status.  Also is there a quick way of determining which
work items/workflows are unnecessary and can be deleted/disabled.  Has
anyone else ran into this situation and what solution was taken.   Any help
will be greatly appreciated.
