I am trying to pass a text file through Biztalk and retain
the original filename.  I can successfully pass it through
a port and channel, where the port uses the "%
src_filename% and the channel points to a document
definition that has no schema attached to it.

This all works fine if I pass an XML file through it.  The
outbound file has the correct untouched contents, and
retained the filename.

However, whenever I try to pass a text file, I get a file
called %src_filename%.  It has the correct contents, but
the filename is my problem.  Any ideas on how to get past
this?  Is this a limitation in that the src_filename key?

thanks in advance,
Chip

Are you using pass-through? Are you using a preprocessor? If not, then

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

does anyone have experiences with BTS2004 and filenames? All your suggestion
s doesn't seem to work here.

Thanks a lot

Okay, I've got the solution:
%SourceFileName% must be the first String in the filename:

works: C:\Test\%SourceFileName%.xml
won't work: C:\Test\Test_%SourceFileName%.xml

regards

writing XML-documents work fine, but flatfiles stay at the following name:

does anyone have a solution?

%SourceFileName% macro is populated by File receive adapter only. In
addition, if you are disassembling the flat file into multiple messages,
then they all will have this %SourceFileName% which will either fail or
overwrite depending on your send port settings.
