  Before APAR JR46078, in some cases too many work item entries
  have been
  created in the database. With JR46078, this has been fixed.
  
  However as these superflous workitems still exist in the
  database, these
  need to be detected and deleted.
  This APAR detects and deletes duplicate superflous workitems.

Problem summary

• Updates on work basket assignments with large number of tasks
  may lead to 'Workitem update in progress' exception
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  When processing updates of Work Baskets with a large number of
  tasks, the following exception occurs:
  
  com.ibm.task.api.UnexpectedFailureException: CWTKA0003E:
  Unexpected exception during execution.
  
    java.lang.RuntimeException: WorkItem update in progress
  
  No tasks can be transferred into this Work Basket any more. This
  interim fix corrects the code to handle also Work Baskets with
  large numbers of tasks.
  

Problem conclusion

• When retrieving the list of work items for a parent work item on
  a work basket, it is now checked that only 1 entry is in the
  list. If there are move than 1 entries, the most recent is
  selected, and the others are deleted.
