Issue/Introduction

Using command delete-library-content -i with more than 219 items/GUIDs does not work in Windows Command Prompt (cmd). This is due to a command-line string limitation in Windows cmd at 8191 characters.

Environment

TIBCO Spotfire Server on Windows

Resolution

Running config delete-library-content -i 65fa8a40-ab47-410e-b18b-9978f5bed755, ... for 219 GUIDS, each with 37 characters, makes 219*37=8103 characters which will work. For 220 GUIDs it will end up with an error.
