Deleting work items in production

[viveka.schwartz@implema.se]

Hello Cindy,

since you mention that the tasks concerned  are the  TS30001128 & 
TS30001117 (Enter document for document type & Assign document for 
document type) I would suggest you just set the status to Delete Logically 
via the work item detail screen (=> Edit => Change and then press the 
button Delete Logically) to get rid of those wi:s  from the users inboxes 
-  Unless you don't really want to reenter or reassign the images which I 
understand you don't  want.  Archiving makes no sence in this specific 
scenario since it only has to do with assigning/entering images stored in 
the document archive to a business document.

Regards
Viveka

Hi,
You could try transaction SWPC - Continue Workflow After System Crash... I 
never tried it but if you look at the program help that one of the reason 
it was created for.
