SYMPTOMS
The %src_filename% symbol does not retain the correct file name and path if you use the pass-through flag to submit the input file to BizTalk Server. Instead of the name and path of the input file name being passed to the output file name by these symbols, the actual text of the symbol name is passed to the output file name.

MORE INFORMATION
By using the %src_filename% symbol that is available in BizTalk Server 2000 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and BizTalk Server 2002, you can dynamically modify output file names by using the File transport.

You can use the %src_filename% symbol to generate output files that have the name and the path of the original input file. For example, when you are configuring a BizTalk Messaging Port, you can configure the File transport address as the following: file://c:\outputfile%src_filename%.txt In this example, if you name the input file test.xml, the output file name becomes outputfiletest.xml.txt if you use the pass-through flag to submit the input file to BizTalk Server.

For the File transport type, you can include characters and symbols to dynamically modify the output file name. The following table contains the symbols that you can use with the File transport type:
