AMP Engine in 2020.2.3.27789 doesn't output Performance Profile

[SamDesk]

Hello Community,

This may not be related to my specific version (2020.2.3.27789) but when I use the AMP Engine and Performance Profiling, I don't get an output for the Performance Profile. Running without the AMP Engine and it works just fine. Anyone else?

Cheers,

Sam 🙂

I wanted to thank you for being an early adopter and using the new AMP Engine as soon as it became available with the 2020.2 Release! 

Please continue to report any use case issues that you find with running workflows with AMP Engine enabled. We worked hard to identify differences from the original Engine as well as provide guidance on how to better optimize workflows to run with AMP. 

Below are several links to information about the AMP Engine, including some helpful Blog posts:

Thank you all... this post saved my sanity.   Who would have guessed the 2 options "Enable Performance Profilign" and "Use AMP" listing side by side are not compatible with each other :D.

It looks like AMP feature is still in it's infant state...

I have also noticed a bug that... when AMP is ticked,  DateTimeStart() would return different values at different places within the same flow!!  I have a flow that uses DateTimeStart to for part of the output file name, and because of this, my One output file has became 10 output files with different timestamps!!

If you are using 2020.2  that is the first Release version where AMP Engine was available. There have been many improvements since then, including adding Performance Profiling with AMP in 2021.3. There will be even more improvements with the upcoming 2021.4 Release. Look out for that if you are able to upgrade.
