Below are issues which we faced when working with AMP engine feature. Can anyone help us to resolve the below issue and explain more about AMP feature.
Sorry, I was in a hurry to reply earlier. Yes there is a fix for Inbound Pipe in the 2022.1 Release. Unfortunately those defects have needed to be addressed tool by tool. So when we hear about them we fix them but we may not catch them all.
TDSL-4131 was specific to: Error “: InboundNamedPipe GetOverlappedResult: The pipe has been ended” when both ‘Use AMP Engine’ and ‘Enable Performance Profiling’ is checked with Block Until Done in macro
If you can supply Support with a yxzp that can be used to reliably reproduce what you're seeing with YXDB files that will really help us to fix it.
@TonyaS for one of my complex workflows that is working perfecting in our current version (2020.4.5.12471) without AMP enabled,
when I test the workflow in our new version (2021.4.2.35356) with AMP enabled:
the workflow does not read an Input Data Alteryx database at all, and no error is generated related to that Input Data tool
and the response from Alteryx support is (I'm translating, through my IT dept contact):
the AMP engine is more sensitive to tool errors
the workflow XML file seems to be corrupt (but no issues in 2020.4.5 with AMP off)
the only workaround to fix this workflow is to copy all tools and paste them into a new workflow
Have you seen many examples where the only workaround, to get a workflow to run as expected in 2021.4.2 with AMP, is to copy all tools to a new workflow?
I'm just wondering if I was unlucky in selecting a workflow to use for testing the new version, or if we can expect any significant number of our workflows to not run without manual intervention after we upgrade versions.

This is definitely new information for me, not something I have heard before at all.
I would love to circle back with Support to clarify. Could you private message me if you have the name of who communicated this?
It does not sound right to me so I would like to ensure that any knowledge base documentation gets corrected.
AMP is not more sensitive to tool errors in general. There were a few very specific scenarios where AMP errored when original Engine had not, we have done our best to correct that by changing them to warnings.
If you would be able to send me a yxzp of your workflow in a private message I would be happy to try it on newer versions to see if the issue is fixed. We have done extensive improvements to AMP especially for the 2022.1 Release where AMP Engine became the default for new workflows. The 2022.3 Release will be even better to use for AMP because 2022.3 will also have 86 additional tools supported with AMP as well as a new tool that allows users to run a comparison against multiple workflows at once analyzing result differences between original Engine and AMP.
Thank you for the reply. I sent you an email, to move this conversation out of DM.
I think we currently have 3 open support cases, including the one mentioned in my email.
