CC Import issues
One answer
2. That is very unusual. An import of 4200 elements is expected to take an hour or so. Please submit a trouble ticket with Rational Support so they can help you investigate what's happening in your environment.

My mistake, I missed a zero when submitting the post, it should have been 42000 element, but unfortunately it encountered an error accessing a ClearCase element and stopped.
Just to verify, have you upgraded to at least 3.0.1 ? With another zero, you now are in a range where you would need the performance improvements provided by 3.0.1. But if you are at 3.0.1, a 42,000 file import should not be a problem (we test for at least 200,000). And your expected import time is 10-20 hours, so 42 hours (and not finishing) is not expected. Also note that if you are using 3.0.1 or later,after you fix the ClearCase access error issue, and request the import again, it should start up pretty much where it left off (it might redo up to about 1000 elements, but that's a lot better than redoing 42,000 elements!). So assuming that you are at least at 3.0.1, you'll want to work with Rational Support to see what's going on.
