The ClearCase Version Importer is a new feature of Rational Team Concert 4.0.5. It can migrate all the versions in any branches in Rational ClearCase in a single operation, and the version branching is also replicated in Rational Team Concert source control. This document provides performance data that you can refer to.
The performance result gives you an idea about how long it takes to import files and folders using the ClearCase Version Importer, although this example is not a benchmark. Your performance also varies with the speed of the server host, database type, and the client host that you use.
The performance report of 4.0.5 release is available at
ClearCase Version Importer Performance Report in Rational Team Concert 4.0.5. This document also provides some considerations to migrate the data efficiently.

Topology
In this test environment, all software is installed and configured on a single host, except for the Rational ClearCase Servers. The ClearCase Version Importer commands are run on the same host as well. The following table shows the single server topology variables.

The Rational ClearCase servers are hosted on Solaris Sparc machines. All the machines are located on the same local network.
Methodology
The export command of the ClearCase Version Importer runs against the VOB sub-folders that are listed in the result table, and the duration of the command is measured.
Then, the intermediate data is imported to a new component of a new stream on the local CCM server, and the duration of the command is measured. The user mapping is not configured.
Results
Note: The table shows an average time to import or export the files per version. The time varies by test case because there are several other factors that contribute to the duration (such as cleartext pool cache or the number of files and directories in single Rational Team Concert component).
