Major hassle: Vault CLC history not consistent

Using Vault 3.1.7 commandline client,

I ran a history query, using -begindate 06/06/2006 (no end date) and it is giving me grief because it is not reporting all changes.

If I ran it at $/Project/Component1 level it only gives me history since 30 June. If I ran it at some lower level say $/Project/Component1/Sub1/SubSub1 then it correctly detected changes since 6 June.

I don't have this problem if using the GUI client, but it truncates at 1000 lines so more hassle to fetch next line.

What do I do?

I think there's a default limit on the number of rows returned in the CLC -- 1000.

If your query will generate more than 1000 rows, use "-rowlimit 0" in your command.

Yay, that did it. I would venture that this would baffle a lot of people. In the GUI client it clearly states that it is truncated, but it is not apparent in the command line.

Anyway I'm happy again.

I'll log a bug to make sure this is in the documentation.
