how should is proceed ??

As Raghavendra suggested, if the long runs are due to event trace please switch off event trace in transaction SWELS and you can delete trace entries from transaction SWEL to reduce number of entries in table.

why we use this job?

This job is to evaluate workflow dead lines

what will happen if i will cancel this job in between?

You can cancel the current job and start new job after fixing the rootcause (after deleting event trace entries)

can we stop ececuting this job?

If you are not using workflow dead line monitoring, yes you can stop executing report

Hope this helps!!!

I faced a similar issue.

1. Check SM50 transacton. Are all Dialog work processes occupied? If yes, which program / table are they struck at?

2. In my case, the program was struck at updading the table SWFREVTLOG, which is the table for Event logs.

3. If the same is happening in your case, then you should switch off the event log (transaction SWELS) and kill all the instances of the SWWDHEX (if there are multiple instanced running) job. Then start a single instance of the job and let it process all the deadlines.

4. You should also see a huge queue in SM58, do not let another instance of SWWDHEX start till the existing queue is cleared.

Does this help?
