So please help me how it can be done.

Is this command
mv `find CMP_PORT* -mtime 0` ../xmlreprocess

will move the files of today's date?

Backticks suck. Also, there's no need for find, if they're all in the same directory.

mv *_$(date +%Y%m%d)*.xml ./xmlreprocess

We may need to be more specific to avoid the chance of false matches and avoid making the command line too long when there are hundreds of files.

ls CMP_PORT_IN_P??????????????????_22090328??????_err.xml | while read FILENAME
do
       # Remove echo if the command does what you want 
       echo mv "${FILENAME}" reprocess_dir
done
