Restart function in Wazi Deploy

We are looking for smart restart capability in Wazi Deploy. With larger packages, with let’s say 100 DBRMs and corresponding Executables, Wazi Deploy should automatically identify the restart point.

Wazideploy-deploy operations could accept the evidence file of the previously failed deployment along with the same deployment plan. The evidence file (documenting where it failed) can indicate to Wazi Deploy where to set the restart point (and just omit the already successful steps in the deployment plan).

Example - Let’s say it failed at the 80th BIND operation, the previous 79 binds that where already successful should be skipped.
