You cannot parameterize using timestamp in mappings in advanced mode.

When you specify a file name for the target file, include special characters based on Apache

STRFTIME

function formats that the

mapping

task uses to include time stamp information in the file name. You must enable

Handle Special Characters

options to handle any special characters in the

%[mod]

format included in the file name. You can use the

STRFTIME

function formats in a mapping.

If you enable

Handle Special Characters

, the Secure Agent ignores the input and output parameters in

Create Target

.

The following table describes some common
