Narrative:

Air carrier X was arriving on runway 5R on an ILS approach. Helicopter Y was taking photo at 600 ft (field elevation 400 ft) on 2 mi final. Traffic was issued and helicopter Y saw air carrier X. Separation was always greater than 500 ft. This RA would not have happened if air carrier X would have turned his TCASII off inside 10 mi of airport he was landing. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated traffic had been issued to both aircraft and acknowledged. Air carrier X responded to TCASII RA and made a go around disrupting ATC and traffic pattern.
