    1st - thanks rraghvani for the idea to do the renaming with a "script".
    I am using an european date/time format like this:
    29.11.2022
    10:41:50,54

    there fore I added a line at the end of my batchfile where I rename the outputfile  and ad a timestamp like:
    ren C:\Temp\TCLogs\LogT2.xml LogT2_%date:.=_%-%TIME:~0,2%_%TIME:~3,2%_%TIME:~6,2%.xml

    and I get a filename like:
    LogT2_29_11_2022-10_41_50.xml

I use a PowerShell script to run similar commands; and I pass in the date variable like this, "C:\Temp\TC_Automation_$timestamp", which TC then creates a folder with results.
