To Avoid Storing a Resume Reading State

Sometimes a partial data-stream read is necessary even when the Resume Reading feature is enabled. For example, there could be some application logic on top of the record parsers, which might abandon the rest of the file because of a corrupted record and close the file successfully after reading only part of the file’s content.

In this case, you must set the LocalFileOTD.Configuration.ResumeReading node to False before calling finish(). This setting tells the BatchLocalFile OTD to complete the operation without storing a resume-reading state. You can set up the Collaboration Rule to then send notifications or take other measures, as desired.
