OnFailStep Property
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature.
The OnFailStep property identifies the SQL Server Agent job step executed after failure of the referenced step.
Syntax

.OnFailStep [= value]
Parts

An expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To listvalue
A long integer that specifies a job step by ordinal number
Data Type

Modifiable
Read/write
Prototype (C/C++)
HRESULT GetOnFailStep(LPLONG pRetVal);
HRESULT SetOnFailStep(long NewValue);
Remarks
On failure of a job step, SQL Server Agent can stop the job (reporting success or failure), or if the job has more than a single step, it can attempt to execute the next step or another step in the job.
To direct job failure logic to a specific step
Set OnFailStep to indicate the job step that should execute.
Set the OnFailAction property to SQLDMOJobStepAction_/GotoStep.
