Loading each database as a HALDB database

Unless you specify otherwise, when a logical parent of a unidirectional relationship is loaded or a logical child of a bidirectional relationship is loaded into a partition, an entry is created in the ILDS of that partition. Otherwise, no special considerations exist for loading logically related databases during a conversion.

After the migration reload, the pointers in the logically related databases are no longer accurate and IMS cannot use them to retrieve the target segments until they are healed; however, you do not need to do anything to fix them. To heal them, IMS waits until the target segment is needed and then locates the target segment through the ILDS of the target partition, at which time IMS corrects the target segment's pointer.
