Deleting work items in production

[Qiru w]

Hi, all,



   We have an issue regarding deletion of unwanted work items in production system. According to SAP's recommendation, archive is the best approach. However, the problem is that we are not planning to implement archiving functionality in the near future, but production has this immediate requirement. 

   Alternatively, SAP provide two reports SWWWIDE and SWWHIDE to delete work item in development/testing environment, which will delete work items permanently and directly. However, SAP emphasizes on the risk of using these reports and only suggests using it in non-production system.



   Can these two reports act as practical solution to eliminate work items in production? 

   Does anyone actually use this in production? 

   How to use it up to make it secure and reduce the risk of mistakenly using the program? I am planning to use a dummy user who will get those work items need to be deleted and set the running variant and authorization to this user only.



   Any suggestion is appreciated.



Thanks a lot,

Cindy
