Reporting | Starting with 2022.3, the legacy Email tool configuration is no longer supported due to security reasons. Previously, when the SMTPServer tag was empty, the SMTP server was set based on Windows configuration. The current Email tool configuration uses the SMTPServerName tag which can't be empty. | |

Output Data | In/Out | Only XLSX, CSV, YXDB, and SQLite formats have been converted. All other formats will fall back to original Engine. While AMP Engine writes SpatialObj data to the file when saving as CSV file, the original Engine doesn’t. This causes file size difference and users may experience decreased performance. |

Sort | Preparation | There is a difference with Using Dictionary Order when sorting special characters. Different implementations are used to make dictionary sorting on original Engine and AMP. For original Engine, Windows implementation is used. For AMP - ICU library. It works differently only for special symbols, but not for words/letter/native sort. |

Partially-Converted Tools
Tools where not all functionality or configuration has been converted from the original engine to AMP. The functionality of all partially-converted tools is retained on AMP, with fall-back to the original engine when needed.
Tool | Category | Differences Between the Original Engine and AMP |
Blob Convert | Developer | With AMP, the conversion to a Blob from Text Data and vice versa is not supported. Falls back to the original engine in this scenario. |
Create Samples | Preparation | Summarize tool is partially converted. Formula tool is missing custom formula functions/add-ins. |
Distance | Spatial | Falls back to the original engine for drive time support and distance to destination. |
Find Nearest | Spatial | Falls back to the original engine for drive time support and distance to destination. |
Formula | Preparation | Custom formula functions/add-ins are not available on AMP. |
Heat Map | Spatial | Summarize tool is partially converted. |
