Hi All

If the bot is stopped in-between and started again it should start from where the previous run was stopped not from the beginning.

Please help me how to achieve it

If you stop the bot, it will not start from where you stopped the process unless you use the run from this activity choice.
If using debug mode you can place breaks that will stop at certain points and you can resume from the stops.

How you’d do this depends on your process. What’s it doing? How far did it get? What applications were open? What web pages were open? What screens was it on? Was it in the middle of a loop? There are infinite questions here.

The proper way to handle stopping of jobs is to write the proper code so that it stops at a point where you don’t need it to pick up in the middle next time you start it. For example, if your automation is transaction based, you make sure it doesn’t stop until it completes the transaction it’s working on.

I’m assuming you actually mean stopped, which has a specific meaning. It doesn’t mean faulted. If you’re talking about jobs that fail (fault) that’s different than stopping. Doing proper error handling is how you deal with faults, not trying to get it to start where it left off.
