Existing workitems still execute old workflow tasks after buffer refresh

[Tom Peou]

If you want existing work items to use your new Workflow, you would
need to logically delete each Workflow Instance of the exisitng work
items, and then manually trigger a new instance through SWUE - note
down the object key... NOTE: you might want to be careful: check who
your agent determination is basing it's find on - remember, if you
start a Workflow Instance using SWUE, then you become the
WF_INITIATOR, and if your new agent determination is searching against
the WF_INITIATOR, then it will find an Agent according to your
structure.
