File Adapter - SP12

Question

Hi,
   We are in XI 30, SP12 and we were trying out passing the payload value as the file name.
SAP help says that in the Variable Substitution, we should be giving as follows:
Variable Name    FileName
Reference  payload: Record,1,DT_HEADER,1,FILE_IDENTIFIER,1
(Reference will show the XML path traversal till the least node to get the relevant value from the payload as per SAP help).
In the filename Scheme we are mentioning the variable name <b>%FileName%</b>. But its not taking the value contained in the variable FileName which should hold the payload value. But its not happening.
Anyone did some trial on the same pls throw some light on this issue..
Thanks in advance

To make the example if the online help run, you have to do following:
File Access Parameters:
-> File Name Scheme: %var1%.xml
Processing Parameters
-> File Construction Mode: Add Time Stamp
Variable Substitution
-> Enable: x
Variable Name: var1
Reference: payload:root,1,e1,1,e2,2
Send this payload (use sender file adapter)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<root>
  <dummy>
     <e1>
        <e2>Data_1</e2>
        <f/>
        <g attr="abc">text</g>
        <e2>Data_2</e2>
     </e1>
  </dummy>
  <e1>
     <e2>illegal/value</e2>
     <f/>
     <g attr="abc">text</g>
     <e2 attr="fghij">Example Value</e2>
  </e1>
</root>
Result: Your file name looks like this:
Example Value20050607-131921-414.xml
=====================================================
The example of Michal was ( _ omitted):
payload:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<OutputTag>
<From>newfilename</From>
</OutputTag>
same config as above, besides:
Reference: payload:OutputTag,1,From,1
Result: newfilename20050607-133624-145.xml
Hope this helps
