Save Points (Magic xpi 4.1)

The Save Point option lets Magic xpi back up information in a flow up to a defined point (the Save Point). When you select this option, Magic xpi recovers the flow from the last Save Point reached in your root flow's linear branch.

Before each step is executed, Magic xpi checks to see if the step is defined as a Save Point. If the step is defined as a Save Point, the worker updates the Magic Space with the last Save Point or restarts the flow if no last Save Point exists or if that step was not reached. During the recovery process, the Magic processing unit will update the message with READY_FOR_USE and add the specific step based on the Save Point details. If the Save Point was defined after parallel workers were invoked, the parallel processes will not be executed.

The recovery object contains data such as flow variables, as well as a User BLOB, and previous Save Points in the same thread are overwritten.
