SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft BizTalk Server tutorial, PORequestApproval.wsc contains the following statement which expects an English date/time format: 
Line 47:<BR/>
'Generate a Unique Number used to generate unique files using a mask<BR/>
strTimeNow = left(Replace(CStr(FormatDateTime(Now(), 3)),":",""), 6)
The date and time are used to generate unique file names.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the script is expecting the date and time in the following format: 
   MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
This may cause errors when the script tries to generate a unique file name on localized platforms that are not using the English date/time format.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, modify the script to adjust for your local date/time format by using the DatePart function: 
strTimeNow = DatePart("h", Now()) & DatePart("n", Now()) & DatePart("s", Now())
As an alternative, you can change your regional setting to use English date/time format.
