Reducing the Type manager import time

Flex PLM  provides the flexibility to export the complete type manager or one node at a time. If you have around 30000 attributes defined in the system , then the best practice is to import the type manager type by type and not try to load it completely at a single stretch . Since , the type manager loader does not load in incremental commits. If the loader fails at line 29000 , it rolls back everything , and you have to start fresh.

   Maybe it would have been better if , after every type is loaded , a commit is been done and a restart point is created, so that the second time , when the type manager is imported , it does not start from the begining.

    Also , if it take 2 hours to load data upto line 20000 , it stops and does not tell is there is an issue at line 20001 as well .

  The second  methodology can be that , when the file is loaded , before loading , the type manage loader program should list out all the errors in advance. So that , the user can go and rectify all the errors and then load the type manager. At least he will save a lot of time.
