After a load with IDAA_Dual, the table doesn't remain in Recommended Load (yes, modified data).

We started using IDAA_DUAL as the loader. It correctly loads DB2 and IDAA, but leaves the loaded partition in Recommended Load (yes, modified data) for the following reason:

It should be loaded; real-time statistics were evaluated and data changes are shown. Last load: 08/25/12 2:31 PM.

This load is IDAA_Dual.

In the manual, I see the following note:

Note: When using external load to load both DB2 and the accelerator, the accelerator table is left with a change information category other than NONE. This means that the HALOAD utility, when run with DETECT_DATA_CHANGES, will load the accelerator table even if there is no modified data.

This is a major inconvenience for us, because when evaluating whether a table needs to be loaded in IDAA, it is selected and loaded, eliminating the advantage we had with IDAA_Dual. In fact, it takes more time and creates more complexity in the process.

We want to use this feature to save loading time in IDAA, and with this functionality, it loads twice in IDAA: once with IDAA_Dual and once after checking if there is any data pending to be loaded in IDAA with the IDAA LOADER.

Therefore, the behavior we need is that after a load with IDAA_Dual, with the table fully loaded beforehand, it doesn't remain in Recommended Load (yes, modified data) after IDAA_Dual.

We opened a case on this issue: TS020047534, and we were told to open an AHA ticket.
