Highlight Incremental tables during deployment

Hi Guys,

It would be extremely helpful if incremental tables are highlighted during deployment when a full load is triggered. As it is today we need to expand every incremental table to see if the Full Load checkbox is checked or not.

This will minimise the risk of full loading an incremental table by mistake.

Basically just highlight the table when TX decides to check the Full Load checkbox.

Regards,

Lars

We just fully loaded a +800m records table because we changed the incremental selection rule on the wrong table :-o

I guess you learn by your mistakes.... At least we have a backup from yesterday :-)

Additionally, it would be great if the developer would be warned if they are performing an action that will trigger a full-load, like changing the PK, data selection rule, incremental selection rule or something else.

In some cases you also want to do those changes without being forced to do a full-load deployment. It would then be up to the developer to manually make the necessary changes to ensure data integrity.
