Fast load Vs Mload when AMP is down - response (1) by dnoeth

Hi Cheeli,
FastLoad directly loads into the target table and is simply not implemented to handle down AMPs.
MLoad uses worktables which are always Fallback protected, when an AMP is offline there's still the Fallback copy of the row to work with. And if the target table is also Fallback there's TD's "Down AMP Recovery Journal" to deal with it.
But when an AMP is down (data loss in a RAID?) you usually have more urgent things to do than running a load job :-)
