Suppose i hv developed a JOB which consists of 5 compontents , after executing 3 components the job fails , when next time i start a job it should start from component 3.
how to do that ( i compared the concept with ab initio checkpoint)..

Why do the last 3 posts from you in the space of 5 minutes look like job interview questions?

By specifying Checkpointing in job sequence properties, if we restart the job. Then job will start by skipping upto the failed record.this option is available in 7.5 edition...

Um... no. If you restart the sequence it will 'skip up to' the failed job and restart the sequence from failed job.

No, not as an option. That doesn't mean you can't code it in yourself, however.

If your job has an open cursor with a selection set using a rollback segment and the job fails, the process ends, and the rollback+selection set are released, how could you possible re-enter processing exactly where you aborted when the selection set in the rollback has been released?

You program in your restartability in the way you architect your ETL application.

Neither server nor parallel jobs have checkpointing capability, unless you design it in yourself.
