Now we are good to go for configuration of check points .

Properties for Checkpoints

The checkpoint file includes the execution results of all completed containers, the current values of system and user-defined variables, and package configuration information.

The file also includes the unique identifier of the package.

To successfully restart a package, the package identifier in the checkpoint file and the package must match; otherwise the restart fails.

This prevents a package from using a checkpoint file written by a different package version.

If the package runs successfully, after it is restarted the checkpoint file is deleted.

The following table lists the package properties that we can set to implement checkpoints.

Additionally, we can set the FailPackageOnFailure  property to true for all the containers in the package that we want to identify as restart points.

We can also use the ForceExecutionResult property to test the use of checkpoints in a package. By setting ForceExecutionResult of a task or container to Failure, we can imitate real-time failure. When you rerun the package, the failed task and containers will be rerun.

Checkpoint Usage

The CheckpointUsage property can be set to the following values:
