SYMPTOMS
When you submit a document to an HTTP Receive function that is configured to output to a file, if the file location specified uses the %tracking_id% variable, the following error message may occur in the Application log for BizTalk Server:

Event Type: Error Event Source:  BizTalk Server Event Category: Document Processing Event ID:           324 Date:      9/5/2001 Time:      4:30:44 PM User:       N/A Computer:           BizTalkServer Description: An error occurred in BizTalk Server. Details: -- [0x80070050] The file exists. [0x175f] The BizTalk HTTP receive function &quot;HTTPReceive&quot; could not create the file &quot;c:\filedest\file%tracking_id%.xml&quot;.



CAUSE
The %tracking_id% variable is not valid for use in the file output location specified in an HTTP Receive function.



RESOLUTION
Valid variables for use in the file output location specified in an HTTP Receive function include %guid%, %server%, and %datetime%. To resolve this problem, use one of these supported variables.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
