Data Type and Format Restrictions for Noah ES

The following changes apply only to applications that use the Noah ES API. They have been implemented since 2022. The introduction of a new API provided the best opportunity to promote more modern data formats.

Changes:

• Any public data storage must use format 500 or higher. Format 500 and higher are XML-based data standards.

  • Storing data in older header-based formats is not supported.

• Any public data storage cannot have the format set to 0 (zero).

• If action data is read and the format is less than format 500:

  • A Noah ES app can be read in the stored format if it can understand the older non-XML format.

  • A Noah ES app can ask Noah ES to convert the data to 500 or higher.

    • For example, the app cannot ask format 100 data to be converted to format 200.
