Abstract

A computer implemented method, computer program product, and system for creating a checkpoint of a stream. A stream checkpoint request to create the checkpoint of the stream is received, wherein the stream is used by a process as a communications path, and wherein the communications path is modified by a set of modules. In response to identifying the identity of each module in the set of modules, the identity of each module in the set of modules is stored in the checkpoint. In response to identifying an order of the set of modules, the order of the set of modules is stored in the checkpoint. In response to sending a stream checkpoint message to each module in the set of modules, module data is received from each module in the set of modules to form received module data. The received module data is stored in the checkpoint.
