Update reader based on current date

I have backup copies of layers in an ArcSDE database, using two digits for the month (01, 02, 03, etc), in order to detect change from the updated versions. Is there a way to have the reader switch to the next month's backup by checking the system date so I only have to press play and not change anything other settings?

You could use this sequence:

Creator (create a dummy object).

TimeStamper (get the current date in the right format).

FeatureReader (read the data based on the timestamp).

Hope that helps.
