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 into the file when saving as a CSV, the original Engine doesn't. This causes a file size difference and a performance issue. |

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 | Difference 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 such 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 | AMP does not support drive time/distance, so it falls back to original Engine for those operations. |
Formula | Preparation | Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP. |
Heat Map | Spatial | Summarize tool is partially converted. |
Imputation | Preparation | Record order. Can be fixed with Engine Compatibility Mode. Due to a different method of grouping with AMP, the output order is different. |
Multi Field Formula | Preparation | Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP. |
Multi Row Formula | Preparation | Custom saved expressions are not available on AMP. |
Summarize | Transform | Different order for actions which use Group By. Actions not supported in AMP include Report\Combine Horizontal, Report\Combine Vertical, Spatial\Combine, and Behavior Analysis\Combine profiles. Falls back to the original Engine when used. |
Trade Area | Spatial | Falls back to the original Engine for drive time support. |
