Hello to all,

I have a need to have my BizTalk 2004 send port create
output file using a date time stamp i.e. (YYYYMMDDHH.xml)
instead of the default %MessageID% pattern target file
name used in the file or FTP transport Target File Name
property.

I only need to dynamically create 1 target file per day
using this custom pattern instead of a unique %
MessageID%.xml used as a default in BizTalk 2004.

I'd like to know if others have used various patterns for
customizing output target file names for send ports.

Examples of these patterns would be ideal especially with
literals and date/time stamps.

Thanks so much!

Hi,

I`ve never used the FTP adapter but the File adapter allows you to use
%datetime% (YYYY-MM-DDThhmmss), %datetime_bts2000% (YYYYMMDDhhmmsss) or
%datetime.tz% (YYYY-MM-DDThhmmssTZD) instead of %MessageID%.
If you need any other format, you`d probably need to create a custom
pipeline to assign the correct format.

HTH,
Asbjørn
