DeleteCompletedWorkItemsQueue
The DeleteCompletedWorkItemsQueue deletes the completed work items for a specific participant in a specific context. Prior to deleting the work items, DeleteCompletedWorkItemsQueue reads the preferences. The preference value can be a number or ALL or NO. If the value is NO, completed work items are not deleted. If ALL, then all completed work items are deleted. If the value is a number, that is the number of the latest work items completed not deleted. The rest of the work items are deleted. The deletion of completed work items is spawned only when the number of excess completed work items is twice the specified preference. For example, if the preference is 10 then the deletion of work items is spawned only when the number of excess work items is 20. Note that a work item is deleted only if the parent process for it is CLOSED. The completed project work items are not deleted.
The default value of the preference prior to Windchill 9.1 M070 or Windchill 10.0 was 100. The current default is NO.
Failed entries in this queue cause the operation to fail while deleting the completed work items (as determined by the preference).
