Restart at the Last Checkpoint

To take advantage of the checkpoints established by conscientiously issuing database commits and taking process snapshots, you should include logic in the procedure step to interpret the snapshot and restore things to the state that existed at the last checkpoint. This usually involves repositioning sequential files and, possibly, resetting the values of some local views.
