Unable to delete Aria Automation deployment. Error: "Delete Failed - Could not process request due to: Exceeded limit on max bytes to buffer..."

Products

• VCF Operations/Automation (formerly VMware Aria Suite)

Issue/Introduction

When a deployment is created in Aria Automation using an Orchestrator workflow which generates a large amount of data (>20MB), it can fail to be deleted in the Automation portal.

Trying to delete the deployment using an API call can also fail with a "500 - Internal Server Error".

Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.x.

Cause

The large amount of data generated by the workflow is stored in the Catalog-DB and is unable to be read fully by the Automation UI due to size of the data.
