CauseThe issue is due to an error in the source file being processed.
The snippet within the logs gives the location of the point of failure.

For example, 
The issue could be due to multiple or duplicate tag lines in the file such as  "<PREFERRED_ENGINE_IP><Value></Value></PREFERRED_ENGINE_IP>" in the XML data feed source file being processed. 

Following is the example:
 

<ExceptionType>System.InvalidOperationException, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089</ExceptionType>
                            <Message>The ReadContentAs method is not supported on node type Element. If you want to read typed content of an element, use the ReadElementContentAs method. Line 219, position 23.</Message>
                            <Source>System.Xml</Source>



 
ResolutionThe solution is to reproduce the issue and locate the latest log entry to identify the point of failure. Line and position should provide the location within the XML source file.
You may need to manually correct it or if you are using automation to create the source file, you should make adjustments and corrections to the system that is creating the source file.
