Need capability for restarting the failed process from the plugin step which actually failed

Currently when we repeat the failed process, it starts another run altogether and hence starts from begining again.

Instead we want a capability of restarting from the failed step similar to what a mainframe JCL offers.

This functionality is very critical for production deployments since the window for deployment is very short to reduce the application outage.

If we consider a typical deploy process for mainframe which has DB2 Bind, Deploy Datasets and CICS Newcopy and if the component version is having around 100 artifacts, if the newcopy step fails, repeating the process again will try to execute DB2 bind and deploy datasets again which will definitely take 5-6 mins which is unnecessary since those were already executed before.

Hence it would be efficient to just start from the failed point instead.
