Environment

ComponentServer  
Host Product Version6.13.0
ApplicationConfluence
App Version8.3.0
Database TypeN/A

Cause

The issue occurs only when there are 25 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 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.

Use

  • removeAttachmentVersions for deleting multiple versions of an attachment
  • removeAttachmentVersion for deleting single version of an attachment
  • No labels
