Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidelines for archiving and deleting workitems in SAP workflows to optimize performance by reducing table/system load. It specifically advises using the archiving object WORKITEM for completed or cancelled items within transaction SARA, while cautioning against using report RSWWWIDE in production due to its disregard for dependencies. Additional details include changes in archiving post-NW04 upgrade and replacement programs (WORKITEM_WRI and WORKITEM_DEL) for previous archiving routines. For development or testing environments, methods for deleting large quantities of workitems using RSWWWIDE and RSWWHIDE are discussed, alongside recommendations for handling archived data with specific Archive Information Structures.
