Having problems importing SVN dump file to RTC

Not sure if you have gone through the link below,
https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.team.scm.svn.doc/topics/t_import.html
You should take a look at the SVN import article. Incremental dumps are not supported. You'll need the full dump even if you are bringing in changes since the last import. Even though it needs the full dump, it won't reimport what has already been imported.

We have seen the article. We are not using incremental. Would like to use filtered though. Is there a problem using filtered dump files since there is so much data and we do not want to import it all. From what I have read we should be able to use but when importing the person doing the import is not seeing any directories to import.
You could try with a full dump. The import only imports whatever you specify. The data you were filtering when making the dump wouldn't be imported unless you specified it to be imported in the RTC importer.
If directories still don't show up in the import wizard, it might be a bug with the importer. I don't know what version you're on but it might have been fixed in latest.
Looks like filtered dump file created through svndumpfilter command without trunk in the include path did not have any folder information in them. RTC importer was not finding any folder after processing the dump file.
When the trunk is included in the path for svndumpfilter command, it had the issue as described in this link http://miria.homelinuxserver.org/svndumpsanitizer/ under "Why svndumpsanitizer is needed".
We increased the RAM and java heap memory in the system used for the RTC import and was able to process the large dump file(with out using svndumpfilter) after it took few hours.
Now we are seeing a problem, where some sub folders under selected folders in the import wizard did not make it to RTC workspace after the import, even though we did not see any errors.
Any thoughts on why this folder and files under them did not make to RTC during the import ?
I suggest opening a support ticket. Your issue might be a bug but can't be investigated without more information from the import.
Thanks. Please provide the link where we can open the support ticket.
