Reporting | Starting with the 2022.3 release, 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 the Windows configuration. The current Email tool configuration uses the SMTPServerName tag which can't be empty. | |

Join | Join | Record order. The output order is different due to the different grouping methods with AMP. Engine Compatibility Mode can fix this. You can only join double fields to other double fields. |
Join Multiple | Join | Record order. Due to the different method of grouping with AMP, the output order is different. This can be fixed with Engine Compatibility Mode. You can only join double fields to other double fields. To prevent deadlocks, there is a maximum of 32 allowed connections for this tool when AMP is enabled. |

Output Data | In/Out | Only XLSX, CSV, YXDB, and SQLite formats have been converted. All other formats fall back to the 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. |

Poly-Build | Spatial | Record order. Due to the different method of grouping with AMP, the output order is different. |
Principal Components | Predictive Grouping | |
R | Developer | AMP Engine passes data to and from R in the original Engine format. Double conversion takes time. Single R tool execution time can be slower with AMP than with the original Engine, but it's faster if multiple branches are run simultaneously. |

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, the Windows implementation is used. For AMP, the ICU library is used. It works differently only for special characters, but not for words, letter, and native sort. |

Text Box | Interface | |
Text Input | In/Out | AMP creates the maximum size field for strings and integers so that subsequent operations will have the necessary room to hold larger downstream values, whereas the original Engine creates the minimum size required to accommodate the data. |

Union | Join | The order of the records might differ due to their variable processing. You can avoid this by setting a specific output order. There is a maximum of 32 allowed connections for this tool when AMP is enabled to prevent deadlocks. When input tools are directly connected to the Union tool and one of the inputs is invalid, the Union tool outputs empty results with AMP, while the original Engine outputs partial results (consisting of everything from valid input tools). |
Unique | Preparation | Record order and output result (different records). Due to the different method of grouping with AMP, the output order is different. |
Variance Inflation Factors | Predictive – Gallery | |
Violin Plot | Data Investigation | |
Weighted Average | Transform | When Grouping Fields mode is used AMP outputs records in a different order. |
XML Parse | Parse | AMP uses boost u32regex which works correctly with Unicode symbols on char* strings. Original Engine uses boost regex. |
