There are situations where writing the date of the folder or writing a time stamp to the file name is necessary.
One use case is Adobe Audience Manager (AAM) requires a Unix time stamp in the file name and if the file is being delivered to S3, the folder structure requires a date.
When configuring date/time parameters in a process such as "To File", use @date: and the time format.
Custom Date: {@date:yyyy-MM-dd}
Unix Time: {@date:epoch}
For writing to AAM, the {@date:epoch} parameter is required in the file name
Example: /company/date={@date:yyyy-MM-dd}.
For writing to AAM S3, the /date={@date:yyyy-MM-dd} is required in the folder structure.
Example: ftp_dpm_406986_{@date:epoch}.overwrite.gz
