Thanks for the suggestion Henry. There is a chunk size for getting the CMDB keys but no such setting for getting the external data.
The problem appears to have been a resource issue on the BMC Config Discovery database virtual server. This was moved to new hardware for other reasons and his seems to have solved the problem. The 600,000 CIs now import fine. As far as the memory required for the AIE engine is concerned I got no help from BMC. The manuals indicate that it should use almost all the 2GB available to it on Windows but it uses only a couple of hundred meg. The logs indicate that external data is dealt with in chunks of 10,000 records. This would give the memory usage I see. Thanks to all those that responded to this.
