Work Item Type Container Linkage Element (C)

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Robin,
Container linkage elements come from ALE/EDI.
I remember that much but haven't had much to do with them.
Hope that helps.

Subject: Work Item Type Container Linkage Element (C)
 
 
I have been archiving and deleting our workflow tables. However, we still
have a
large number (900,000) of Container Linkage Element (SWWWIHEAD-WI_TYPE='C')
workitems in READY status. There are no other workitem types (F, W, B etc)
in
READY status in the creation date range. The type 'C' workitems seem to
remain
in READY status and never get changed to CANCELLED or COMPLETED, and thus
don't
get archived/deleted. The type 'C' workitems don't have a task id
(WI_RH_TASK)
and do not have a parent (WI_CHCKWI), so I can't figure out what they are
linked
to.
 
Can you explain what these type C workitems are? Why do they remain in READY
status? Is it safe to delete them using the deletion report RSWWIDE, even
though
they are in READY status?
 
 
Thanks in advance for the generosity of your time and willingness to help.
