Hi,
I'm using vra 7.3 and cloud client 4.4.
A couple of days ago I started getting this weird error message all of a sudden in my automation pipe I have using Cloud Client.
Flow:
1. I do a successful request of a blueprint/deployment through cloud client.
2. I get the requestId back from the successful request I made. I also verified the requestId in the GUI under Requests.
3. I then use
CloudClient>vra deployment list --requestId <the id I got from above here>
4. But I then got
com.vmware.cloudclient.exception.CloudClientException: Failed to convert '<id from above>' to type Request for option 'requestId'
Error: Unable to find a Request by the name or id '<id from above>'.
5. The above message is the same as if I wrote a requestId that does not exist, but it did.
---
I started to dig deeper...
1. This Business Group has 5000+ requests (5197 something), I could verify this in the GUI
2. I then used the same command but instead of writing the requestId I pressed the Tab key, twice.
CloudClient>vra deployment list --requestId
Display all 5000 possibilites? (y or n)
3. Wait a minute... I have more than 5000 requests.
4. I compared and tested the following
CloudClient>vra request list --pagesize 5000
CloudClient>vra request list --pagesize 5200
But still only saw up to 5000 requests.
5. I tested to set default pagesize in cloudclient.config above 5000, to like 5200 but then I had to use --page 2 to see the request entries above 5000.
vra request list --page 1 (showed 5000 entrys)
vra request list --page 2 (showed 197 more)
---
So my conclusion is that:
1. Cloud Client "vra request list" can only show 5000 entries even when using --pagesize larger than 5000
CloudClient>vra request list --pagesize 5200 <-- only shows 5000 entries
2. I can see beyond 5000 if I use --page (even if I use default pagesize of 25 and then use like --page 206 or something)
CloudClient>vra request list --page X
3. The problem is that
CloudClient>vra deployment list --requestId <requestId here>
Can only see 5000 request entries, not more, the only respons is the "com.vmware.cloudclient.exception.CloudClientException..." if I enter entries that is above 5000.
If I choose a request entry that is above 5000 I get the error message, same as if the requestId does not exist.
If I choose a request entry that is 5000 or below I get a response as usual and its working as it should.

Can anyone confirm this?
And how can I fix this?
1. How can I remove/delete old requests for a Business Group? Can I clear it some how? There is a "delete" button in the GUI but that only works for "Unsubmitted" requests.
Is the only option to rebuild the Business Group or hack the database?
2. Is there some setting in Cloud Client that can be modified so vra deployment list --requestId can see beyond 5000 requests?
3. Any other ideas? or SR next :/
