Deletion of Workitems with Error status

[Gregory Kowalik]

What I have done is I forward all trashy workitems to a special background
only user id WF_TRASH.
Then I wrote a program that runs periodically to "logicaly delete"
workitems in WF_TRASH inbox.
To do that I use:
 
SWW_WI_FIND_FATHER_WIS : to locate the parent workitem
SWW_WI_ADMIN_CANCEL: to logically delete the parent.

Probably the safest way to get rid of unwanted workflows is to select the
Flowitem, i.e. the top workitem that is created as a representation of the
workflow template (select in swi1 with type f and number of the workflow
template), go into change mode from the work item display, and complete the
flowitem manually. That will set all dependent workitems (i.e. all items in
that flow) to logically deleted, i.e. they will disappear from users'
inboxes. Drawback is that you need to do this for every instance of the
workflow.

To delete workitems (doesn't matter the status) you can use transaction
SWUL. There you can choose which workitems you want to delete by using
several select options.
 
Just be careful, because the transaction does not check any thing. If you
tell it to delete a workitem it will delete it, even if the workitem is
still being processed.

Flavio.
