Mass cancel MSMP workflows

[krysta_osborn]

Hi!

Is there a way to mass cancel MSMP workflows? We didn't realize that upgrading the system would find and send out ancient workflow items. Now I've got hundreds of work items in approver's queues that I need to make disappear. I found program GRFNMW_MANUAL_INSTANCE_CANCEL, but it only lets you process one at a time.

There must be a better way.

Thanks for the quick response, Luis. 🙂

I did find a better way. In SWIA, you can query for all open workflows in ready status. In my case, the ones I wanted were all generated on the same day, so I didn't have to filter that list any further. Then you can select all and cancel. This requires workflow admin access. I used my firefight ID to do it.

This did cancel the WF tasks for the approvers, but the MSMP workflows are still alive and sending reminders. : (
