How to delete Orphaned Workflow after IDOC processed outsideWorkflow?

[Mike Pokraka]

Hi Jimmy, 

 

This is correct, SWWL is for clearing junk from your dev/test systems and
should not be used in PRD. 

 

Your problem is with the custom program you mentioned. It needs to raise an
event to communicate the status change to WF to complete/cancel it. 

 

Cheers, 

Mike

Sherie,

Thank you very much. I understand what you are saying here, but again, I
don't have authorization to SWO1 either. 

 

The project I am working on is very tight with Security. When I ask for
SWWL, the response is SAP 'According to SAP, transaction SWWL should not be
used in a Production environment to delete work items.'.  I'd expect the
same from SWO1, but will try it any way. 

 

The system is ECC 6.0. If  anyone else have other solution, please let me
know. 

 

Jimmy

Jimmy,
Try this..SWO1 on the object FLOWITEM... "test" and instantiate with the
work item number, then run the method "change status" to change the item to
"Cancelled" (logically deleted). We use this quite often.

Also you might want to use the correction of the IDOC as an alternate to
cancelling the workflow in the design and avoid this problem in the future.
Just a thought.

Best Wishes,

Sheldon,
Thank you for the response. I tried that. As I stated, the IDoc already
processed with status 53. 'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to
'Done'' is grayed out.

Found transaction SWWL which looks like will do the trick, but not
authorized. 

Posted this message, just want to see if there is any other way.

Hi All,
I have a situation, inbound IDoc processed with error, workflow is
generated. Instead of going through workflow to processed the IDoc, someone
corrected and processed the IDoc through a customer program.

Now, we have a few Work item remain in the user's Inbox. Tried SWI1
'Logically Delete' is not an option. 'Set to 'Done'' is grayed out. Is it
Authorization issue? Is there any other way to detete these Work Items?
What is the Authorization do I need to do it?

Many thanks in advance

Jimmy
