Cause
The issue The issue occurs only when there are 25 or more versions missing in the sequence, for example, if you are trying to remove around 950 attachment versions and there are 25 versions or more missing in the version sequence.
Problem determination
The following are general troubleshooting steps when removeAttachmentVersion is not working as expected:
- Verify that removeAttachmentVersions is used for deleting multiple versions instead of removeAttachmentVersion, which whereas the removeAttachmentVersion deletes only one version of an attachment.
- Verify the debug logs by appending --debug to the CLI command.
Solution
Upgrade to the latest version of ACLI from the Downloads link.
