I recently created a simple BTS application that takes a single XML (per
transaction - insert, update), using File System processing drop the XML
file in the folder where BTS picks it up, processes it through BizTalk 2002
and then  performs the necessary action on the other side.

This all works fine, but during real world testing if several files got put
in the pickup directory all of the files would get luped together as ONE XML
file on the other side and mess up the entire processing of the application.
I need to processes just one file at a time right nw. Is this possible and
how? Also in the future how do you handle the schema definitions on multiple
files at a time?

On file send port property page, there is a setting for when creating
output file, you want to either Append, Overwrite or CreateNew (if exists
will fail).

Since you do not want them to append, you should select a unique name by
using File name macro substitution and CreateNew option. For example, the
output file name should be  c:\temp\%MessageId%.xml.  This will generate
different file names every time. For a list of available macros, please
refer to BizTalk documentations.

Hi

Isn't the MessageId for BizTalk 2004 only? The question is about
BizTalk 2002.

Yes.  2004 uses MessageID.  In 2002 it should be %Tracking_ID%
