Deleting unnecessary workitems

[Ford, Jason (CAG-CC)]

Sue,
 
Very true....SWW_SARA is the preferred way to remove workitems.  It does =
render a follow up question though...and I'm sure its been asked before =
with the obvious answer is slipping my mind. =20
 
>From what I can recall SWW_SARA only works for workitems which are in =
status 'COMPLETED' or 'LOGICALLY DELETED'.  What if you have a large =
number of unintentionally triggered and unwanted workitems in status =
'READY'?  In order to use SWW_SARA for those you would need to convert =
each to status 'LOGICALLY DELETED'.  Is there a way to mass convert =
those without having to go into each workitem individually?
 
Thanks,
Jason

Hi Kevin,
 
A caution: SAP does not recommend the use of this program (RSWWWIDE, =
which is underlying the=20
transaction SWWL) in a production system; instead you are advised to use =
SWW_SARA (follow menu path
