Operating system: macOS
Customers are asking why the element has been removed from the XML when getting data from SERP. Could someone explain why this change was made?

In the words of one customer's development team:
Having talked through the detail we are struggling to understand why this change has been made as it’s moved from a standard way of working to a more non-standard way – we are using standard Microsoft components to get the data and having the container enables us to easily identify a data element that could be repeated and know when to close the loop with the closing tag.

Sorry, the XML was removed from the above. The element I'm referring to is the rows element.

I have already asked about this and made the "rows" tag optional in xml parsing.

This is not the issue of upgrade SERP. But serverip.dat in this case contains the value: 192.168.88.12:1301, so this is local IP of the server with SERP. Anyway I don't understand what do you me...
