Now there will a job created and saved in the jdbdupkeys folder..

 

Now restart the engine, take a separate process definition with engine command activity to find

the recoverable processes .Now take another engine command to restart the recoverableprocesses..

 

Then the jobs again restarts from the checkpoint and gets completed.
