Datalink Financials (the new version of Datalink) should have the function of adding Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds on archiving the daily imported file, like the old version Datalink Classic

In Datalink Financials (the new version of Datalink), lacking of adding Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds (eg. -1781514121920, -1781600539424) to the daily archived file destroyed the audit and archive purpose, as the following day same name daily file will overwrite the previous day same name daily file on archiving, resulting in having only one archived file in the archive directory all the time.  

Eg.  Daily source name is always called ABCDE.csv.  In Datalink Classic, if the DAILY source file name is a constant file name (eg. ABCDE.csv) in the Directory Location, on successfully processing.  the DAILY file name will have the Unix epoch timestamp in milliseconds added (eg. ABCDE-1781514055288.csv) on day 1 on archiving in Archive Directory;  will become ABCDE-1781600454856.csv on day 2 on archiving, and so on.
