All persistent objects remain in the world for the entire lifetime of the replication server. But what happens when the replication server is restarted or goes offline?
Persistence Client is a special utility that runs alongside the replication server and records the state of the world and saves it to physical storage. If the replication server goes offline, the Persistence Client will backup the entire state of the world.
The Persistence Client will be available as part of the coherence online services in a future release. Please contact our developer relations team for more information.
