the description of the name property says "if fileNameIsPattern is not true", but there is no switch i can set for fileNameIsPattern. So i think this is a lie, and it seems that if the name has a pattern escape sequence you recognize it's a pattern and if not, not. Seems like this reference is a carryover to a property field which has been dropped, it certainly does not appear anywhere on this config screen when i create the file binding or update in CASA. found in 1023-2008 gfesb build.
actually the fileNameIsPattern property does show up in the property sheet. but this property is not available when creating the binding, ie nothing in request/response config windows where the help refers to it, hence the help is confusing because it implies it must be set to use a pattern. it does appear to be set automatically based on the initial file name string. note also that %d{} is claimed to be valid, from the help text this looks like it should work just like %d. However when i entered this eg output%{}.out as output file name this failed xml validation. ERROR: file_out%{}.out is not a valid file name pattern. Reset the fileNameIsPattern attribute if this is not intended to be a pattern. so the %{} pattern is either an error in doc or is broken functionality.
