Delete work items for BPEL process using Business Process Choreographer Explorer

The following conditions apply when you delete a process work item:
- You must be a process administrator or system administrator. However, if Business Flow Manager is using the alternative process administration mode that restricts process administration to system administrators, then only users in the BPESystemAdministrator role can perform this action.
- The process instance must be in the running, failing, or terminating execution state.
- A work item with an assignment reason administrator can only be deleted when it is not the last work item with this assignment reason for the process instance.
