Hi Lisa, I wasn't sure if anyone had answered this for you. I'd suggest using a Dataset fanout in this case. It isn't as efficient as the batch deploy but it will let you fanout by basename.
Alternatively, try setting a global variable with the fme_basename before the rasterpointextractor, and then retrieving it afterwards. Hope this is of use, Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Product Support Engineer Safe Software Inc.
