There is no way you can have more than one file with the same name, if a file with same name is pushed from upstream it will overwrite the existing file.
Thanks for the reply mate but overwrite is not the case here as you already know that some of the part of the timestamp is diff

ex: tri003_global_20130131<first_part>_erd.txt-20130131<Sec_part>

first & sec part i cant control its a system generated, If i would have been aware of the generation of first & sec part then I never asked this question Smilie
hope you got my point but if you have some solution with generating the seq no then plz share it will be helpful
