Deleting unnecessary workitems

[Michael Pokraka]

Hi Jason,=20
Indeed, I was one of those individuals you indirectly refer to... I've as=
ked on how to do a 'mass logically delete'. The answer is pretty much a D=
IY solution with a custom ABAP calling SWW_WI_ADMIN_CANCEL. You may have =
an equivalent SAP_WAPI... FM available, depending on version.=20
Cheers
Mike

  In order to use SWW_SARA for those you would need to convert each to st=
atus 'LOGICALLY DELETED'.  Is there a way to mass convert those without h=
aving to go into each workitem individually?
