Parsing inbound XML reading files

The receiver records all incoming readings files in the FileInventory table. This table logs and tracks all files that the end-to-end ARI process receives and produces. Incoming XML reading files are logged with a FileType of 8 (Managed Readings File) and a FileState of 0 (Not Processed).

The receiver only operates on files with the extension provided in the receiver service’s file mask parameter and that are not set to read-only. After the receiver has processed a readings file, it sets the file’s read-only attribute.
