Deleting work items in production

[Uday Malghan]

Cindy,

Couple of times  I used SWWL (WIM: Delete Work Item)  to delete work items 
and detail log. This tcode has option to only delete workitem with and w/o 
log.  But recommended approach would be not to delete.

Thanks,

Uday Malghan

Hi, all,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = 
"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

   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
