MORE INFORMATION
With BizTalk 2000, the DateTime string is displayed in YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss:s format (for example, 200205291945263). In BizTalk 2002, the DateTime string is displayed in YYYYy/MMm/DDd/Thh:mm:ss:s format (for example, 2002y05m29dT20h16m06.287s).

The %datetime% format for BizTalk Server 2002 remains unchanged with the installation of this hotfix or service pack. To generate the BizTalk 2000 format, use %datetime_old% instead of %datetime%.
