Viewing repurposing request instances

A multicluster administrator, or a user with the SMC_REPURPOSE_REQUEST_VIEW permission can list and view repurposing request instances. The number of instances that are retained by the system for each request is determined by the Number of instances to keep per repeating request field under System > multicluster Settings > Global Settings in the multicluster management console. This setting applies globally to all recurring requests. If the number of instances for a request exceeds the configured setting, the oldest ones are purged from history on an hourly basis.
