If you have enabled the Check Point restart option you can just rerun. So that the job will start at the last check point. Look at the Job properties tab in your Sequence. Search for the same.
Impossible doesn't mean 'it is not possible' actually means... 'NOBODY HAS DONE IT SO FAR'

Also you need to enable Restartability for the project from Datastage Administrator-

It is in the Properties>> Sequence tab..enabling this would also put checkpoints in your process.
But as Kumar suggested- you need to have restartability defined at the Job Sequencer for each job/execute/notification activity.

Actually, no. That just controls the defaults when a new Sequence job is created, whether those options default to being checked or not. It doesn't control whether checkpoints work or not...
